As far as I know, yes.

As far as I know, you can only pick it up again at the end of the year, after that it is too late.

You'll have to go to the commerce student centre and tell them the situation just to be sure - I'm not sure if my unsw will recognise that arts subject as gen-ed automatically

From the FCE handbook.

2. A student cannot:

...

2.2 count mainstream courses offered by other faculties as substitutes for General Education courses towards more than 6 units of General Education requirements.

2.3 count a mainstream course offered by faculties othe than Faculty of Commerce and Economics both as a substitute for a Commerce and Economics option and as a substitute for a General Education elective

It doesn't say you can't count mainstream 6uoc. So I would imagine you're ok.
