Yes, I’m sad to say.
Technically is applies to the whole Internet. If an Australian can make an account on your site in Iceland, you’re supposed to comply with this law. That said, the government isn’t making much of a thing about this, because they know full well that it’ll have an adverse affect on the population (those sites will simply block Australia rather than comply). There are a few sites (eg Facebook, YouTube, Instagram) they are getting to comply, because there are Millions of Australians on these sites and it’s worth those companies’ while to retain these users and comply.
Then the government has a precedent: “See? That site over there complied, if you ever want to be as big as them, you need to also!”
