Roaming means using your phone on foreign networks. If your phone connects to any Australian networks, which is necessary to send or receive text messages, or make/receive any calls, you are roaming.
Receiving text messages is free globally. I think you've probably disabled data roaming, which is a common device setting but has no impact on voice-call-roaming or text-message-roaming.
Incidentally, EE doesn't allow data roaming unless you have an add-on covering its cost - which usually means having an add-on enabling access to your UK allowances whilst roaming. The end result, is that the phone setting to disable it is immaterial.
As an aside, EE offer flat-rate roaming in Australia for £25/week now - that means access to your UK call, text & data allowances including your incoming calls being zero-rated. In the likely overall cost of your trip, it may be worth considering the relative value.
