Default Skilled Migration - Recent work experience - needs to be same occupation?

I wonder if the recent work experience requirement for skilled
migration needs to be in the same occupation as the nominated
occupation?
In my case, I am nearly finished with a distant learning Bachelor
degree Accouning in Australia.
I prefer to choose an associate professional occupation (40 pts) as a
massage therapist in Europe for building one year work experience. It
is quicker for me to me to get an massage therapist diploma in Europe
than to receive a univeristy degree in Accounting in Europe, which I
use for building the year work experience.

Am I correct?

"You must have been employed in any occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for a specified period immediately before lodging your visa application."

If its 60 point occupation - 12 out of the past 18 months
If its 40 or 50 point occupation - 2 out of the past 3 years.
