There is no difference between the mIRC versions on the download page. The locations simply specify where the mIRC.exe is being hosted. It's best to choose a connection closest to you to ensure a quick and easy download. That's all.

It doesn't matter hugely which server you connect to on a network. You might get less lag on a server hosted closer to your location, but usually this is negligible (in my experience anyway).

Nevertheless, should you wish to force mIRC to connect to the German server when it starts up, you could use:

ON *:START:{ server german.server.here }

(Put this in Remotes, ALT+R > File > New).

Regards,

Just replace the name/address of the german server (as would be located where Mentality put german.server.here) with the name/address of the Australian server.

Are you aware that being on a German server does not necessarily mean you're on a server full of people that live in Germany or speak German? The people on the American server, German server and Australian server can all chat with each other over the network.
