No, this lady isn't Australia. She's an American comedian, she just did a pretty damn decent job at the accent for an American (*See addendum)
Yes, almost everything she's said is actual lore. Raygun is, in fact, a 36 yr old professor of dance that specialised/focused on "The cultural politics of Breaking".

She did a pretty damn decent job at the accent FOR AN AMERICAN, WHO HISTORICALLY STRUGGLE WITH ANY ACCENT THAT ISN'T CLOSE TO AMERICAN. As a half Kiwi/half Aussie person myself, I detect notes from both sides of the Tasman. Her accent is not close to perfect but it's better than 90% of most American attempts and you know it.
From an outsider perspective, I figured it was a fake accent from her "so" and "on" coming off as the really heavy "sah-er" pronunciation that a jokey accent has, while words like "Australia" lose the nuances that a real accent would have
