No, you're confused. A PAC code is used when switching carriers, it has nothing to do with the scam described here where an attacker contacts your carrier and claims "I lost my SIM".
Activating a replacement SIM can happen in minutes (and that's a good thing : would you want to wait 7 days to get service again ?)
The only thing that seems different from the US is that I don't think everything can be done over the phone here : you need to go physically into a shop and (hopefully) show ID.
