1. No, you will only be able to play Japanese games on a Japanese xbox. Games from other countries dont work. You would either have to purchase japanese games from amazon.co.jp or find them on ebay, or you could put in a mod chip that would allow you to play both, but that is risky, it could damage the machine. Unless you are desperate to play japanese games, don't bother buying a japanese machine. It isnt worth it.
2. No, no, and no. a) They use 60v mains power, Australia uses 240. b) They use 60Hz power supply, Australia uses 50. c) Their TVs use a different signal (though many modern televisions won't have a problem at all) d) Region coding will stop you from using any non-japanese disks and lastly, any modern DVD player / TV combo will play any region / coding DVD just fine, if you put in the manufacturer code (simple web-search will find it - don't ask on Yahoo please). It's not illegal, but companies don't like it so they don't advertise the fact. This is in answer to your sub-question, not to your main question. I don't think you could get a Japanese XBox to play all DVDs though.
