I live in a small block in NSW. Each of the units has a garage. In addition there are two marked parking spots at the end of the building. Are these automatically regarded as visitor parking (and as such, off limits for residents)?

There’s very few things that are “automatic” in strata law.
Check your by-laws for references to visitors parking or indeed for restrictions on parking on common property. Check your original strata plan for unassigned parking spaces (perhaps for “scramble” parking).
In the absence of any of these, I would move at your next AGM that the spaces be clearly marked as visitor parking and that you include a by-law that defines what a visitor is in terms of parking (no more than three hours at a time, and not overnight … whatever works best for the majority of owners). It would also, of course, forbid residents from using the spaces at any time.
