It's fine in terms of colloquial or informal English. It might even be okay in formal English, it it were clear it was being used metaphorically rather than literally.

The use of on was correct?

In the right context, yes. It would be obvious from the tone of voice, and other cues, that it was meant figuratively. The use of on is used in other expressions like this. As you said, passed out on us. But also chickened out on us and bailed on us.
