That applies when you're leaving Australia, as your luggage will be checked straight through and you won't see it again till YVR (let's say you're traveling MEL-SYD-YVR). In this case, you won't have access to your checked luggage, so international restrictions will apply.
I mean i can carry 2 bags from YVR-SYD, would i be subject to domestic baggage allowance if i am getting my bags and re-checking them in?
Potentially, but if you're on the same ticket, it may be OK. It somewhat depends on the check-in agent in SYD. It also depends on your cabin class.
