State or territory governments will locate and select skilled workers that they want to nominate. State and territory governments may do their own assessment of people before they nominate them. If you are nominated by a state or territory and you have indicated that you meet the points test, you will then receive an invitation, subject to occupation ceilings.
When you submit an EOI for one of these visas, you will be asked to select which state or territory you wish to live and work. You can select one state or territory, or any state or territory. You will also be asked to indicate if you are prepared to live and work in a non-metropolitan area.
按目前官网的描述，应该是州 主动选人人后发邀请，但前提是该职业配额没有用光。

关键是州政府怎么判断他们愿意nominate谁？
这就是我文中说到的州担保的2种模式了。

中有如下描述，写了还可以在进EOI前申请州担保的，如果是这样，肯定就是楼主说的模式2了，但关键是如何在EOI前申请州担保不得而知
State/territory government nomination will either involve the intending migrant seeking
nomination from the relevant government agency before submitting their Expression of
Interest, or submitting an Expression of Interest and indicating their interest in being
sponsored by a particular state/territory government(s). State/territory governments will
nominate intending migrants directly through SkillSelect.
