Just wanted to ask if my sister buys me an iPad Air 2 from Japan particularly from Au, is it tied to the carrier? or is it unlocked?

If it is bought on a carrier, I would consider it locked, seeing as how AT&T and Verizon here in the US have it locked to them if you buy it directly from them. I would check on that carrier's policies, maybe they are different.
Can't help here, I am not familiar with Japanese cell carrier policies.
Not true. iPads haven't been carrier locked for awhile. I have a Verizon iPad mini retina on tmobile with no issues as well as my wife's which came from ATT. Both were purchased directly from the carriers.

With the Apple SIM though (included in the Air 2 and Mini 3), AT&T has locked it to their network when activated.

now getting confused, my sister just sent me an email saying that the ipad is locked just like iphones bought from au, softbank. she would head to the store where she ordered the ipad and further confirm it.
