Or is humidity not that crucial. I am used to panther chams that need 70-90% humidity. Would 50% be good or more arid than that like a beardie?

40-50% should be. Not too dry, and not too humid. If you keep them dryer, it is ok, but they will need access to a humid spot (moistened peatmoss in a shelter, or a large water bowl filled with... you guessed it, Water)

Don't species like Indonesian and Irian Jayan need higher humidity than their Australian couterparts since they live in New Guinea which has quite of a bit of a rainforest?
I know now that Indonesians don't just live in New Guinea and not all of New Guinea is covered with rainforest but I was just thinking that it is more humid in that specific region.

Actually the live in the dry semi-arid grasslands and scrublands of New Guinea. New Guinea has many different types of climates and habitats. The Indonesian Islands where BTS are found are also surprisingly warm and dry, and not lush and green as one would expect. They do have a rainy season, but for the most part they are dry islands.
