Apple international warranty vs Apple local Australian manufacturer warranty

I live in Australia. I purchased an iphone SE 2020 from an online vendor, believing it to be an iphone originally sourced by the vendor in Australia. The vendor has since informed me that the iphone is sourced from Hong Kong and comes with an Apple international warranty, not a local Apple manufacturer warranty in Australia. If I require repairs to the iphone in future, can I claim on the international warranty locally in Australia or does the iphone need to be returned to Hong Kong for repairs? I've read the terms of your warranty here: https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-rest-of-apac-english.html This states that Apple may require that the iphone is returned to the country of origin for repairs - in this case, Hong Kong. Is this correct ? Thank you.
