It's also handling what state the suburb is in, and can deal with various kinds of bad data (e.g. lack of uniformity of spacing and capitalisation).

The regex is a compressed representation which saves memory, and it's also likely to be quite a bit faster which saves cycles. I consider it a clever bit of optimisation.
