Melbourne has an extensive commuter rail network (compared to US cities) which is called Metro Trains Melbourne.Several of the lines effectively function as a metro, i.e., higher frequencies, stopping at multiple close distance stops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Trains_Melbourne

Melbourne is renowned for its public transport system.
Definitions of a metro widely vary and I hardly see that it matters what the public transport system is constructed from, but how extensive and effective it is.

I have taken the commuter rail in Melbourne and it was pretty decent but doesn't have the frequency that trains on a full fledged metro system would have eg. Vancouver SkyTrain.
Depends on which part of the network. The core as well as a few main corridors have multiple lines converging onto the same tracks. Those parts gets trains up to every few minutes... definitely metro frequencies. The further out you go though the quieter things get - 10, 15, 20, 30 mins. That's generally the way Australian commuter rail systems run. Kind of a mixed bag, but on the flip side they're relatively extensive.
