You can "use any tag you like" https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like
To put forward another suggestion, you could consider using operator:type:admin_level=4 for state, =6 for LGA and =2 for commonwealth. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative#Table_1:_Countries_using_admin_level_3.E2.80.9310 The admin_level tag I feel does a better job at coding the administrative hierarchy globally, and ensures we don't need to consider the distinction between a state/territory, or a shire/council. Plus it's already documented and in use.
