Yes, the Bakelites are generally VERY acid resistant, in fact they (a member of the Bakelite family known as novolac resins) are used as the photosensitive mask for semiconductor manufacture - they can resist some of the harshest chemicals around - BUT NOT alkali, that is what they are developed and stripped with.

I suspect the AC vents are not Bakelite, as cast it's parts generally have no flexibility to speak of.
