Is this the same page as Obama Victory Fund 2012?

No. The packet has no contributor names, no unique-donor count, and no employer split. It stores committee C00431445, type P, cycle 2012, receipts $738,503,770.41, and disbursements $737,507,855.44. FEC.gov committee receipts by election cycle are the source.

Can I add 2008 and 2012 Obama for America receipts?

Receipts $738,503,770.41 and disbursements $737,507,855.44 sit within about one percent of each other. The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Independent expenditures by other committees and USAspending awards are outside this table. Quote both FEC columns with the 2012 cycle tag.

The 2012 overlay on presidential committee C00431445

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is OBAMA FOR AMERICA (C00431445), stored as a presidential candidate committee (FEC type P). The other is election cycle 2012. $738,503,770.41 is the receipt total on that intersection from cycle-details topCommittees. It is not the 2012 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not OBAMA FOR AMERICA's receipts in any other even-year window. Obama Victory Fund 2012 (C00494740) is type N. Adding that victory-fund cell to this type P cell would mix committees.

LobbyVault does not treat this URL as a donor-detail page. No contributor names appear in the packet. The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Source: FEC.gov committee receipts by election cycle. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $738,503,770.41 funded federal awards.

Type P again, still not Obama Victory Fund 2012

Committee C00431445 files as OBAMA FOR AMERICA. Type P is a presidential candidate committee (FEC type P). The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. The committee hub at /committees/C00431445/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2012 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $738,503,770.41 would break the join. C00431445 returns in 2012 with a receipt total close to its disbursement total. That tightness is an arithmetic observation on two packet columns, not a statement that every dollar was spent the same week it arrived.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00431445 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2012 total.
