It's not over the top. I've done that route, but the bike had European plates, and I had the carnet, which I used when entering Malaysia, Indo and Oz. Sorry I don't know how the game changes, when you have a Cambodian bike (ASEAN countries, does it make a difference, etc).
I think there was someone at the HUBB, who did it (or at least went to Indonesia) on a bike bought from Vietnam not so long ago. I'd expect Indonesia's seemingly erratic customs "rules", and import regulations and quarantine & roadworthiness inspections in Oz to be the biggest stumbling blocks.
But it's one hell of a road trip, if you can pull it off... and I would NOT skip Laos & north Thailand on my way!
