I was wondering if I use cream cheese icing do you use the same smoothing techniques as buttercream. I sometime use a dab of water to smooth my buttercream.

This will work fine
Make sure that the water is warm as it will evaporate faster and not leave any color spots where the water was sitting for an extended period.
