I’m in the UK. Dairy products here are commonly pasteurized, but to me UHT means something much more extreme which spoils the flavour and I certainly wouldn’t expect cream to be UHT-ed. Is cream really UHT by default in the US? Ewww.
UHT for cream isn’t as bad as it is for milk, and it can be done more or less well, but typically all the cream at grocery store, including the organic stuff, will be UHT: https://www.peapod.com/product-search/heavy whipping cream
Where are you? In the US cream is generally UHT pasteurized, but if you’re somewhere where that’s not common your cream won’t last as long.
