I speak fluent Thai, so not lost in translation. Though easily could have been made up on the spot. I'll go back to my DLT appointment with the yellow book and see what happens.
I speak fluent Thai (so not a mis-translation). The staff member at DLT (min buri office) very confidently told me that the license would only be valid in Bangkok and not other provinces if yellow book was used as proof of address.
Though they could have given me wrong information.

Australian embassy don't offer residence verification. I was surprised by suggestion of driving license valid in only one province, but the staff member appeared very confident. I speak fluent Thai, so not a translation issue, but could be staff member giving wrong information.

all my previous visas for Thailand have been applied at the embassy, and the visa was a sticker placed in my passport. My visa extensions inside Thailand were a stamp in the passport.
For comparison my e-visa for India I received a PDF with the visa details, and on entry to India I received 2 stamps in my passport; one the visa and one the entry on that day.
Every Thai citizen is meant to be registered in a house book. It's very common that they don't live in the same address. Many rental owners don't like to register their tenants in the house book of that address.
Copies of house book is often required when dealing with different government departments.
The yellow house book allows non-citizens to be registered, and can assist as proof of address for dealing with banks, immigration, etc. Also helpful if you qualify for immigration / citizenship pathways.
