Can I buy mechanics from Japan and then use them in Australia

Can I buy mechanics from Japan and then use them in Australia?
I am considering buying a portable harddrive and a laptop in Japan, and I know they only take 100 volts of power while Australia devices, and powerpoints, have 220-240 volts. Now, I read somewhere that if the adapter for the device says it can take an input of '100-240 Volts' then all I need is a little thing which makes it so I can plug the adapter into the Australian wall socket. Is that the case? Is there anything else I need? Is there still a chance it will not work? If so, what do I need and how much do I have to pay to get it work? Thanks in advance.

An adapter with a wide range input will work anywhere as long as you can adapt or change the plug. Don
