I know that the company did this in the past. E.g. employees often flying from Perth to Frankfurt they did the following: First trip PER-FRA Then the office in Frankfurt booked FRA-PER-FRA round trips. Back then the max time between the first and last flight was 12 months. The ticket was on a fare where rebooking was free. So whenever the next trip was required the return-leg of the trip was changed and a new return trip was booked. I thought that airlines will block you from buying a flight from a different country. Often this is liked to credit card issuer country. E.g. you can't buy a flight departing from Australia on a foreign website using an Australian credit card.

I’ve run into this before - last year I was booking flights domestically in Peru paying in soles because it was half the price of booking in USD. I managed to get two of them booked but ended up having to pay the third via a travel agency in USD because the LATAM site simply stopped accepting my USA credit card. I can’t know whether it was some arbitrary security measure or whether their system caught on to me trying to game it and denied me because of it, but they denied both my USA credit card numbers as well as my debit cards.
