Yes.
As long as the material isn't "disturbed" often, you'll be fine with a fabric cover. You can additionally cover with thin plastic (< 2 mil) if you don't mind losing a tiny bit of absorption at high frequencies. Mids and lows will be unaffected.
Layer and/or compress the batts as needed to achieve the needed density & thickness.

I can't tell if this is the formaldahyde-free stuff or not-- best to keep the room ventilated when not in use, just to allow the material to breathe. If the "smell" is gone, it's pretty safe.
