Is this true? If so, why are they trying to screw us with them? We should be pissed at them for that, not the other way around.

Obama accepted the deal full well knowing he would never have to answer the question of "why".

Yes.
Basically Australia has laws that they cannot accept any refugees by boat, so they are holding these refugees in a camp in New Guinea. The camp is being closed soon, so they are in a bit of a humanitarian pickle.
The US (Obama) says we will help you. We will take those refugees if you take some of ours.
It's a weird trade for Australia to bypass their laws and still accept refugees.

It's absolutely fricking true. Obama set up the swaps and most of these ME and North African fugees are on Nauru and Papua New Guinea. Australia won't even let them on the mainland continent.
