Oh dear, I've certainly heard that. Although one difference is that in
Australia "ass" used to mean donkey, and it doesn't in America. And
because of American influence, "ass" frequently doesn't mean donkey here
either now.

I don't claim to be an expert in Australia's wonderfully creative humour
or slang expressions, but I've not heard that interpretation of
'assume',
