None of those aircraft on the Featuring list are confirmed as it stands, except the Roulettes. The linked article merely a lists of some of the more interesting types operated by the RAAF, it wasn't intended to speculate on the contents of the flypast. All we know so far is Roulettes plus "a wide range of current and historic military aircraft," but no specifics.
