I used a clear sealer spray specifically meant for this sort of thing- so I certainly hope so! I personally have cookies sitting in my kitchen without any sort of protection for well over a year now that still look exactly the same. It's amazing how well butter and sugar preserve themselves, huh!
Me too. I never preserve them with anything and they hold up pretty darn well if lying flat. Some of my 3-D ones have gotten really dry and fallen apart at the seams but this after months, typically. I've had trouble with edible lacquers that I've tried too - spotting and tasting horrid. It sounds like the non-edible lacquer didn't do any damage to your piece though, which is great!
