(edited topic title a little)
Just noting that this is about an existing company in Australia who bought the rights to the name and logos from ToysRUs during the liquidation process (in which EVERYTHING was for sale, not just physical items), for use in Australia.
They do note on their site that they have nothing to do with the previous ToysRUs business, which also means that they are not related with any ToysRUs business in other countries (they are all separate entities now as well).
That being said, even though it is really early, and very little is so far known, I wouldn't be surprised if this new TRU business, or the multinational toy companies (like Hasbro & Mattel) try to get "global TRU exclusives" into this store just so that that stock gets released here (particularly if the Asian factories have been putting TRU exclusive stickers on the toys). In other words, we could see TRU exclusives at this business, but it doesn't mean TRU exclusives are guaranteed to appear here.
We certainly have precedent for it here though, like having US Target exclusive Movie toys appear here at our Target stores with the Target exclusive stickers on them - our Target isn't related to their Target, but it makes it easier for Hasbro to pitch them to our Target... just look at how difficult it has been for them to offload existing TRU exclusives that they are still stuck with from last year's collapse.
