The "ports" you're talking about were ADSL ports, and yes, those were limited in the exchanges to a certain number for each provider.
Telstra doesn't control who gets a port on the NBN. Best way it was described to me was that the NBN builds a "road" to your home and the provider uses their "car" to deliver the internet to you on the NBN's road. You can choose which ever car you want to drive.
