I am not sure,but I do it all the time when testing MoBo after caps repair ... My MoBo inside PC is also mounted with that foam pad underneath for sound dampening purposes (but does not heat much like with new stuff) no problems whatsoever ...

Some foam is not conductive, I don't think the pink stuff is but the open cell black is more often. A decent multimeter should be able to test it. A board resting on anti-static material can fail to post or act real flaky, though I've never heard of anyone suffering permanent damage as a result.
