From what i could figure out, you're asking what unlocking does?
Well it just lets you use it on other networks. If you buy it on a plan it is locked to a specific network carrier. However, i think the downside to unlocking it in Australia is that only Telstra provides the GPS service, so if you change networks, you wont be able to use it. Doesn't bother me, i'd rather put them on my network and get extra phone credit ($50 recharge gets us $350 of credit).
//Edit, yes, ALL dealers in Australia are forced to unlock the prepaid 3g iphone for FREE.
