Amayasim does have eSIM kits at retail. They are an MVNO which tend to offer speed limits. They’re on Optus network which I haven’t tried. Only have use Vodafone or Telstra.

Some carriers require using their apps for installing esims. But they’re not in the US App Store though they claim when I’m in Australia I would be able to download.

Never heard that App Store allows apps to be geofenced.
The entire app store is geofenced, app developers get to decide which app stores will carry its app.

I also believe, but am not entirely certain - that the geofencing is based on the home country of your app store, not your physical location. So if it won't download for you where you are, it won't download when you are physically in Australia.
