The magazine is age-restricted, yes. But that's different as it is intentionally sexualized content, although no it's not pornography, pornography is depiction of actual intercourse (and by that definition soft-core and masturbation videos don't qualify). In Australia, the X-rating would apply to porn, and there's a list of stuff that porn isn't allowed to include, like violence including simulated rape. The USA does not have any of those prohibitions to porn, just about the only restriction the US has is the age restriction. What is legal in the USA is comparable to what was legal in Denmark in the 70's, just as Denmark gave the world 10-years worth of legally produced bestiality and child pornography, the USA has delivered legally produced "simulated" rape and torture, and that's no better then Denmark.
Traditionally, almost all X-rated content is also available in censored R-rated content, since X-rated stuff can only legally be sold in registered sex shops, and legally not anywhere except here in the ACT and in the NT (although in practice it's sold everywhere), whereas anything that's been converted to soft-core can be sold in regular shops. Nude magazines like Zoo Weekly, are under a different law, but yes they're age restricted but available from general stores like newsagencies and servos (petrol stations), and I believe the sexually explicit ones (Hustler, etc) are as well, I could be mistaken on that it may only be nudity.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
