As SMS/texts are used a lot for authentication, does any of this apply to NZ?

Yes. SMS is not secure. MFA is more secure - Google authenticator, Authy, Microsoft authenticator.

Great to see others reading the Schneier newsletter.

 

Looking at the Sakari.io website, they do list NZ as a supported country. Based on that, I would say timmmay is correct.
