Is Computer-based IELTS accepted for Australia immigration

[manumaan]

The Australia immigration website says:
Some test providers offer alternative versions of their tests that you can take at home or online, such as TOEFL iBT – Home Edition, OET@Home, PTE Academic Online, IELTS Online (General and Academic) and IELTS Indicator. Home Affairs does not accept scores from these tests, or any other 'at-home' or 'online' tests for Australian migration purposes.

Is computer-based test done at a testing center (not home) accepted? Has anyone here done it?
