Yes. Or similar diminished scales which are based on C minor.

Also then now that i have this Cm one fingered chord would the track sound weird if i played it in C major key?

Yes.
Try it, on a normal patch (not set up for thirds, fifths,etc.), Just play a Cminor chord with the left hand and then try playing a Cmajor melody with your right. On your right hand the E will clash, as your left hand will be conforming to Eb [the middle note of the Cm chord]. It'll sound discordant.
Minor sets a darker tone. Major is more brighter/happier.
C minor scale = C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C
C major scale = C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
Several notes stand to clash.
