To be more precise, that aircraft is doing a domestic turn in between long-hauls. Today's aircraft came from SYD and will go back to MEL (i.e., SYD-LAX-IAH-LAX-MEL).
The fact that it's doing a domestic turn is really not dispositive. IME IAH is the hub from which you're least likely to get a real pillow and duvet on an aircraft with lie-flats.
