That’s definitely not how I’ve ever seen it used in Australia or India. North and south are fairly strictly geographic terms. South India is roughly the southern half of the country—following a cultural and geographical divide, but pretty neat overall. Southern Australia follows the southern edge of the country (not to be confused with South Australia, a state in the south). One is in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern, but they use the terms the same way, pointing to the poles.
