From MH's LinkedIn, QF will also put their code on flights between KUL and SIN.

Building on their longstanding ties through the oneworld alliance, this collaboration will see Malaysia Airlines place its ‘MH’ code on 18 Qantas-operated domestic routes across Australia, providing smoother onward connections from key international gateways to cities such as Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, and Launceston.

Meanwhile, Qantas will place its ‘QF’ code on Malaysia Airlines flights between Kuala Lumpur and major Australian cities – Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney – as well as to Singapore and popular Malaysian destinations such as Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Langkawi, and Penang.

Australia has an open skies agreement with Malaysia and Singapore so it doesn't need to go through IASC. Same as how you don't see Qantas applying to IASC for flight to New Zealand.

There are some exceptions to this with one example a recent Indigo codeshare to NZ which required approval as it involved a country without an agreement:
