I wouldn't count on that. Flights to Australia in the first place are exceedingly hard to get on unless you upgrade to business class.

Secondly, Australia's hotel quarantine has been at capacity since June, and limits the number of arrivals quite aggressively.

Yes you are right, it won’t mean free beds in hotels. But will mean greater chance of those desperate to return home being able to. They have a fighting chance now of getting a MIQ slot.
