That being said, if I take a risk and clean it, and don't oil it, and it is the oiled version, how bad would that be for a few weeks of use? Worse than driving with an extremely dirty filter?

I suggest you take the filter out and try to find a part number, then look that up on their web site. Usually, if the filter feels oily it's an oiled filter. If it just feels dirty, but dry, it's usually a dry filter.
I'd suggest you take the old filter into an automotive store and ask them for a new one like the one you have. If they offer you a choice, pick the dry one.
