Is there a good argument that this approach is better than simply slapping a large tax on foreign streaming operators and distributing the proceeds to public services or even individual Australians?

In practice, this seems to have a similar effect but directs all the subsidies to a specific niche industry.

The study is still making the same fairly obvious points, though: remote work is mostly about white collar jobs and still requires technology to be effective, both of which are relatively more scarce in rural or poorer locations. That is equally true at the country or count level.
