The 1992-ish model you are talking about is the 5th gen Celica, ST184 which had the 2.2L 5S-FE engine. If you have seen this model with the 3S-GE (or at least 2.0L badging) then it would be an import.
The only Aus-delivered model with the 2.0L 3S-GE was the 4th gen (ST162), from 85-89. Unfortunately Toyota Australia saw fit to replace the 3S-GE with the 5S-FE (the same motor as the Camry) for the 5th and 6th gen models. As Stuc mentioned, the 5th and 6th gen Celicas still came with the 3S-GE (updated with each model) in Japan.
Celica model codes ending in "2" have the 2.0L 3S series motors (3S-GE or 3S-FE - see below), codes ending in "4" have the 2.2L 5S series, and those ending in "5" have the 3S-GTE (turbo 3S-GE) meaning the GT-Four models.
Quick summary:
4th Gen (85-89)
ST162: 3S-GE in SX, 3S-FE in ST
ST165: 3S-GTE GT-Four
5th Gen (89-93)
ST182: Gen 2 3S-GE JDM model
ST184: 5S-FE Aus-delivered model
ST185: Gen 2 3S-GTE GT-Four
6th Gen (94-99)
ST202: Gen 3 3S-GE JDM model (and Gen 4 later in life)
ST204: 5S-FE Aus model (engine pretty much carried over from ST184)
ST205: Gen 3 3S-GTE GT-Four
As Stuc also mentioned, the Gen 2 and Gen 3 3S-GE's came here in the MR2. Gen 2 in 89-93 models, and Gen 3 in the 94-99 model.
There are some pics of the different generation 3S-GE's on this page:

And a member is currently putting a Gen 2 3S-GE into his ST162 in the "ST162 dedicated thread" in the General Car Talk forum - check it out.
Hope that helps clarify things for you!
