<<My question is is it OK to use a
contact cement on this type of veneer? (specifically Formica brand
contact cement) >>

You can use contact cement for the veneer.  However, the cloth or paper
backing is not going to stop the stain from soaking into the veneer and
possibly causing the adhesive to reactivate.  You MUST finish the veneer
with light coats of stain/finish, to keep it from soaking into the veneer
and causing the adhesive to release.

Formica brand will work.  The following Formica contacts are neoprene and
should be fine for this application:

Formica 100, Formica 100+, Formica 120M, Formica 125M, Formica 140,
Formica 145, Formica 150/151, Formica 155/156, Formica 158/159, and
Formica 160.

Good luck,
