AFT won't work the same in Aus as it does in Ireland. Check GPRS charges which can be high when abroad.

In answer to your question, all received texts are free.

Well AFT through ISP would still probably be cheaper than sending them as a normal text

Check the roaming rates. You could be paying a fortune for Australia. Europe ranges from 3c per kb to 10c per kb.

I am with Meteor and I didn't get charged for receiving texts when I was in Australia.
