well, if it was made in Japan, then it is Japanese Domestic Market...
I think Australia would get JDM cars because it is soo close to Japan, but i could be wrong

Yeah, don't confuse Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) with "Made in Japan". Your EG4 should be considered "AUDM".
Now in NZ, they do have authentic JDM alongside their NZDM due to their generous vehicle import laws. Not so much in Oz due to the more protectionist policy.
