Is there some other way I can read an ESRI Personal Geodatabase (.mdb) using my version of FME, e.g. by downloadable plugin?
I have FME Desktop Professional Edition 2015.0 (64-bit) installed and am trying to read an ESRI Personal Geodatabase (.mdb), but it is not available as one of my Reader formats. Am I understanding correctly from this page that I cannot, whilst the 32-bit version can:

Hi
The plugin is called FME Desktop 32-bit ;-)
FME relies on ArcGIS libraries to read/write to the ESRI Geodatabase family of formats, and as far as I can tell the 64-bit version of those (ArcGIS Pro) does not currently support Personal Geodatabases.
If you do not need the spatial data (attributes only), you can use the MS Access reader, however.
