This isn't really accurate, but I can see how you'd come to this conclusion. Wog definitely started as a slur, but is really just an umbrella term for people of olive skin in Australia these days.
It's not polite venacular, but it's inoffensive and common enough to have a movie with the name a few years ago ("Wog Boy"). I can't imagine the term you've equivolised being plastered on posters in theatres everywhere.
