No, they made it a separate decree, so that even if the nochri made 
cheese with cholov yisroel it would *still* be forbidden.

On the contrary, if cheese is made with rennet derived from a neveila or 
treifa, let alone a temei'ah, it's forbidden even *without* the decree 
against gevinas akum, and indeed according to most rishonim this is the 
reason for the decree.
