From what I just read about the APEC card I would assume that you still need a VOA if you were going as a tourist. It is apparently only a visa for business purposes.
Maybe a phone call to the Immigration Department might clarify this for you.
"The APEC Business Travel Card Scheme is an APEC initiative.
The Scheme was developed in response to the need of business people to gain streamlined business visitor entry to the economies of the Asia-Pacific region to:
explore business opportunities
attend meetings
conduct trade and investment activities."
