That's a regional thing - I was very confused when I lived in QLD and that's how people were driving. In Victoria everyone indicates the final direction before they enter the intersection (eg indicate right before entering if you're taking 3rd exit, indicate left if you're taking first exit).
Yeah if a roundabout is small - single lane, 2-3 exits, 10m or less in diameter - you can get away with doing this (indicating your final direction).
Once they get bigger - bigger diameter, multiple lanes, more exits - its safer to indicate your intention to enter and exit the roundabout.
