you would only need a u.s. llc / corp if your doing business in the u.s. OR the money your generating is held/passes through a u.s. based bank.

He's right, the only "benefit" would be for your buyers to see that you are a USA based entity but even that means almost nothing to buyers online anymore.
Your liability is nil and the tax ramifications appear to be the same.

Correct. You actually are less exposed to tax (income), civil and criminal liability by not having a business in the US. You still might be exposed to sales tax liability, but I can't be certain on that. Even if true, chances of it being enforced upon you would require an agreement between Australia and the US.
