Sounds about right, although there's slight variation across schools. At any rate, that info is made publicly available by the schools.
The market loading is where more significant variation can come from. I am not familiar with the post-covid loadings, but I assume they are more likely to be nonzero in finance departments and are probably higher for brand name schools, which may or may not be the ones hosting the more productive faculty.

You'll have to add the 17% employer contribution to superannuation (retirement benefits) to get a gross salary that is comparable with other countries.
No, that's not appropriate. If so, then you need to compare the retirement contributions and health benefits that US schools provide in addition to salary.
Long story short, compare the numbers given, excluding superannuation.

Just to note, bus drivers start at 100k, and they started working at 18. They work less and have a chill life than most academics. Very little risk of getting laid off. Janitors make at least 80k.
