Yes, they absolutely did operate in NZ in the Qantas New Zealand livery, although not for very long. They also flew in Air New Zealand's livery, again for only a short period.

The QANTAS aircraft pictured is a British Aerospace BA-146 Whisper Jet. Not actually sure if it flew in NZ in these colours. ANSETT NZ used them here. Dash 8 is a 2 engined turbo-prop aircraft.
