I wouldn't know how PlayOnLinux compiles their binaries, to be honest. 

All I know is that in order to run a 32-bit application in a 64-bit prefix you
must have WoW64 support (it's how Windows does this with 32-bit Windows
applications). If your version of Wine 1.6.2 was built with WoW64 support and
when you created a prefix with that version of Wine like so: 

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine winecfg wineboot

you basically created a 64-bit prefix that can run 32-bit applications because,
again, it has WoW64 support. I have Wine 1.9.18 built with WoW64 support and I
have tested this with running No Man's Sky, a purely 64-bit Windows
application, and GOG Galaxy, an application that can only run in 32-bit mode as
of right now, in the same prefix and at the same time.
