So I shouldn't be able to install an Australian banking app on my US phone?

If by "US phone", you mean "work phone issued by the US government", then that's right, you shouldn't.

It's not unreasonable for the US federal government to ban employees of the US federal government from using Australian banking apps on work devices issued by the US federal government.

It is a separate conversation if any of those variables change.

If you’re a government employee, installing an app for a foreign bank account on your work phone may be the least of your roadblocks in that regard. Foreign financial influence is a serious concern.
