Exactly. One can only commit treason against one's own country. Even if he were a US citizen, treason in the US consists only of actually participating in war against the US or in giving "aid and comfort" to enemies of the US. I doubt what Assange has done would meet this test.
I don't know what qualifies as treason under Australian law.
