However Australia managed to beat Thailand only and had a draw with Oman. They lost to Iraq and Japan and had early exit.

Australia definitely underestimated Asian football.
It's not the coach fault.
Players lacked creativity and teamwork was horrible.

I guess it would be better Australia go back to OFC if they want easier path to World Cup.

How many Asian teams qualify for the world cup these days?

I think you are right that the Aussies underestimated Asian football

As I understand it the reason they wanted to switch to the Asia federation was to make world cup qualification easier as the Oceania champions have to play a play off game against a South American team to qualify.
