Did they really call an Australian an African American

The wording sounds like he's a black man from America, aka an African American, who's now living in Australia. I have no idea though. There is a way it's not the wrong wording, but it also totally could be.

That's how I read it too. He is an American of African descent, living in Australia for ten years.
