Not really. On the driver's side both the cylinder and the key are worn down. On the passenger side the cylinder isn't worn but the key is. That small difference is considerable to a tumbler mechanism.
When my key was wearing down I locked/unlocked from the hatch. But take a look at your key sideways so the cut edge is facing you and away, you should see that it's slightly indented on the top and bottom.
Try other dealers as well, I don't recall paying over $40 for the master lighted key.
