Default Painting closet trim/baseboards

My house is 8 years old and am guessing that the trim/baseboards were painted with oil based paint.

When the rest of the house was painted a few weeks ago professionally, the painters sanded the trim/baseboards prior to painting them.

What I can tell from my google research, sanding is required if they painted with a latex paint.

Can I paint the closet trim/baseboards with oil based paint and skip the sanding?

thank you!
