Yeah, you'll need a new engine.
But since you found it early you could ask a shop to replace the rod bearing in question. It does not always work and most shops will refuse to do it or won't warranty the repair. But I think it's worth a shot.

If I disable afm and replace the lifter you think it will be fine if the cam isn’t fucked

You have to do the cam, too. Still your best bet
