The "o" stands for the pinky in this case, there is no universal agreement on what should be used. I personally use "e", but I've seen all kinds of vowels. It doesn't really matter as you only have 5 fingers and Pami are already taken.
In this specific case, the first oamip which has an arrow through it is not a rasgueado in the traditional sense. You do flick your fingers and they do make a sound, but the emphasis is on the P finger going through the strings. If you listen very closely in the original recording at around 1:51, you'll hear that it's not a rasgueado, it's "dirt" that is there to create atmosphere.
You'll see this in many transcriptions, and others will conveniently ignore and not mark it at all. I like to think of it as a triplet 8th or 16th before the line and the P falls on the beat. I will mark it accordingly in my tabs, or sometimes I'll use the ghost note feature in Guitar Pro, it very much depends on the circumstances and most importantly the tempo.
The second one where it says "ras" it's an amii↓ rasgueado. Alain tends to use "ras" a lot and will not elaborate further, so you either figure it out yourself or just make an educated guess. I looked at the video on YT Niño playing the piece and it confirmed to me it was an amii↓, but in this musical environment and knowing the palo it makes the most sense to me anyways. It could've been eami too, or eamii↓, or P↓mpP↓ or PaiP.
