F1 race is pressing ahead without Perez, so it would seem logical for Supercars to race on without 888.

Big difference between a driver not racing whilst his team races on with someone else and the whole team not being permitted to race.

I'm not sure that it is just 888. As we know, all the teams are in Qld - but I'm not sure exactly where they are located in their temporary billets.
Plus there'll be team members who work on the Goldie but live in Brisbane - same likely for some Supercars staff as well.
Even those on the Gold Coast need to drive through Brisbane to head to the NT so might fall foul of NT's restrictions.
With the NT govt so heavily involved in the Hidden Valley race meetings, hard to imagine that they didn't give the Supercars crew some kind of "heads up" - or there may be some kind of exemption plan - if HV is to be a double header, those from Brisvegas might need to stay in some kind of bubble for the time they are up there.
Or the race meeting could be off - we'll have to wait and see.
