I would always prime the surface of new or unpainted plaster.
This is best done using a plaster primer or a dilution of emulsion paint, diluting it with 10% water, so a ratio of 9 parts paint to 1 part water.

Thinning just 10% for mist coat priming bae plaster is not enough IMO & risks poor adhesion & problems with cracking/peeling in the future. I thin matt white emulsion (own brand) 25-30% & apply 2/3 coats in quick succession, dry overnight & then your chosen paint finish.
