Well, it could be right that your insurance doesn't cover it, but that doesn't mean it's not the Owner's Corporation's responsibility. If you bash into another vehicle in an uninsured car – all that means is that they take their damages claim out of your bank account rather than an insurance company's. It doesn't mean there's no claim.
There might, however, be a by-law specific to your block to the effect that owners have to look after their paintwork regardless of who causes the damage but it doesn't sound very likely. I reckon your strata manager should be tasked with getting you better insurance cover.
