Some truth in all of the above except is no guarantee Nix or AFC reserve teams will win the OFC Pro League.

That's noting the OFC League is running Jan-May, so completely overlapping the ALM (usually finishes late May).

Limited opportunity for the two NZ ALM clubs to stack their reserve teams with ALM pros. Especially with the OFC League to be played in far flung destinations like Honiara, Suva, Port Moresby, Port Vila, Papeete etc, for 2 week hubs. You will need to keep at least 20 of your first team squad around NZ & Australia for ALM games.

Also some of the Island club franchise teams could in effect be de facto OFC national teams. So I think far from a given the 2 NZ ALM clubs would dominate the OFC League.
