If yes, do amphoteric oxides react with water like basic oxides do?

and can you give a typical chemical equation of this reaction.

yes
eg.
H2O + 2NO2 ----> 2HNO3
H2O + CO2 -----> H2CO3
H2O + SO2 -----> H2SO3
H2O + SO3 -----> H2SO4

Natural atmospheric oxides are CO2 and NO. Both react with water to form acids: CO2 forms carbonic acid, NO forms nitric acid. Most NO comes from lightning. There are also artificially introduced oxides in the atmosphere, mainly SO2 and SO3, forming sulphurous and sulphuric acid with water.
