Yes. A four degree and a Masters degree is viewed as professional degrees for recognition by the AILA.

Will I be recognised differently if I complete a four year bachelor and not one of the newer three plus two (Masters) degrees?

The accredited four degrees and the Masters degrees (part of the three plus two model) are all viewed equally as professional degrees by the AILA. The choice to offer three plus two - or - to continue to offer the four year bachelor degrees is a choice made by the universities - the AILA recognises both with no preference of one over the other.

Are there any accredited programs offered by the TAFes in Australia?
