That won’t work in Australia. You can buy the SIM anywhere of course, you just can’t activate it. You’ll need proof of ID on line to do that… There are only three operators (the rest are resellers). I am sure there are ways around it but not the one you suggest.
When I was last in NZ you didn’t need ID must buy a SIM and good to go, not sjre thats still the case though?
Protip: in those countries, go to the tourist hot spots and walk into a SIM selling shop. Use a thick foreign accent.
There’s always an industry for anon SIM cards for tourists.

The way you work around it is the shop keeper probably uses their own ID. There’s always a market for tourists
