Is it possible to grow potatoes in a bag in autumn in Melbourne

Doesn't matter much what you grow it in, as long as you look after it to suit how you are growing it. Give it a go.

I'm talking about temperate zone climate and planting this time of year

A lot of places can grow 2 crops a year. Autumn and Spring. An old saying was plant potatoes on St Patrick's Day I believe - which is 17th March I think. A commercial grower in Bundaberg plants in May. When the weather has cooled off a bit from summer, plant up - late March - May.
