Yes, they're interchangeable.
I think people say "Oh my God" when they're frustrated or annoyed too (or at least I do), so I guess you can say "Oh my goodness" in this case as well.

Just in addition to what komorebi said: One of the main differences between "Oh my goodness" and "Oh my God" usually has to do with whether or not the person is willing to use God's name in vain. It's considered a sin in Christianity so some people will just say, "Oh my goodness" or "Oh my gosh" rather than "Oh my God". It really depends on whether or not you or the person you're speaking to will find it offensive. Most people don't typically find it offensive though.

Adding to erinh183, "gosh darnit,"and "darnit" in that they, like "oh my goodness," avoid saying words (God damn it, damn it, and oh my god) that are considered sinful in certain religions.
