So I recently had a blood test done, got the results for the following:

Total Testosterone: 16.1 nmol/L (ref 8.3-30.2)

Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate: 6.2 umol/L (ref 3.0-10.5)

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin: 40 nmol/L (13-71)

Calculated Free Testosterone: 297 pmol/L (225-725)

I specifically asked my doctor to check DHT. Is DHT=Calculated Free Testosterone, or have they missed it entirely?

Otherwise, the levels are within normal ranges as far as numbers go. However, I have heard that even normal ranges can cause acne ifI am geneticallysensitive to DHT, is that correct?

Yes, that's right. Also, acne can becaused by hormonal fluctuations too, so if you're sensitive, it might be the cause of your pimples.
