Yes.

Ancestral Vision normally can't be cast, because it has no mana cost printed on it, and you can't pay a cost of nothing. Normally you have to suspend the card to eventually cast it when the counters are removed and you can play it without paying it's mana cost. << note that this is an alternative cost of paying the requirements for the spell.

Panoptic Mirror has the wording 'play the copy without paying it's mana cost' and As Foretold for example, has the wording 'you may pay rather than it's mana cost' which are both alternative methods of paying the cost.

In short, Ancestral Vision can be cast because you are able to pay an alternative cost, not it's own not existing mana cost.
