It might seem that way, but the giveaway is global. Nvidia phrased it terribly. If you look closely, you'll see a comma after the wall of text that lists other countries. The part mentioned in the brackets only applies to Australia. You'll see the same pattern repeated with the United States/Canada and ineligible regions there.
