The AppleID he creates will be linked to his Australia address, therefore all the content he has access to (in Australia and overseas) is the Australian store. For using other countries iTunes Stores, you have to create a different account, with an address and credit card based in that country. Although, legally I think it's written into iTunes Terms and Conditions you aren't meant to do that. (Though I'm not a lawyer, so don't quote me on that ) :o) So, basically, he'll only need the one iTunes Australia account to access it from both places. Hope that helps.
