It is correct, but it is not normal in North American English. It means the second to last (or next to last) sentence.
The sentence should start with the article 'the', designating 'last' as a specific thing: The last but one.
Examples:
The last customer but one. (there is one more person to be waited on)
The last cookie but one. (this cookie leaves one remaining)
The last train but one. (the next to the last train for this period)

That depends on when you use "I am." It's kind of correct to use "I am" as the only words in a sentence if someone asks if you are doing something. It's also grammatically correct to say "I am" after the relative prounoun what. For example, both "You are turning into what I am," and "I am what I am," are grammatically correct.
