I don't think there is a definitive answer to this, but in my opinion
I think it might be OK since the O3 and O2 types are both phosphate
group oxygen. MMPBSA folks may want to correct me here, but I think
the only reason MMPBSA needs the atom type in this case is in
calculating the non-polar solvation term, and my suspicion is that the
O2 parameters are "good enough" for the O3 type in this calculation.

Caveat: if MMPBSA is using the atom type information for something
else however, it might not be OK.
