They didn't ask for the AVC ID because it wasn't needed until today. Next time you will need the AVC ID.

It started from today.

No that's your nbn location ID or NTD box MAC ID.

Yeah you can.

Yeah the GT-BE98 is capable of nbn 2Gbps.

You can plugin your router to the nbn NTD box. You only need the Optus router if you use Optus 4G auto failover and Optus VoIP.
