In a word, no.

You didn’t convert your CASA ATPL to an FAA ATP because there is no conversion process in FAA land. So, you did your FAA ATP flight test and were granted an FAA ATP based on flight time you gained in Australia. Therefore your FAA ATP is not based in any way on your CASA license and hence, an FAA AME won’t care about your CASA medical.

Best of luck.
