Sorry, but no.

Mick challenges Philip to a chess match in Mick's hometown

Do not confuse a "prawn" with a "pawn" which is a piece used in the game of chess. "Barbie" is not the name of a town, but an abbreviation for "barbecue".

Mick wants to grill and eat a large shrimp with Philip

Believe it or not, this is the correct choice. In Australian English, a barbecue is often referred to as a "barbie". Mick wants to "throw" a "prawn" on the barbie with Philip. A prawn is a type of large shrimp (a crustacean). The entire expression "let's throw a shrimp (or prawn) on the barbie" is an Australian expression which is an invitation to barbecue.

Mick wants Philip to come back and visit him in Australia soon

This is not what Mick is suggesting to Philip here. Mick is actually inviting Philip to a barbecue, and he does not specify where the barbecue is to take place.

Mick wants to throw around a female doll with Philip

Hmm. Although a Barbie is in fact a female doll with an unrealistic body, this is not what Mick is expressing to Philip here. A doll is a toy which usually resembles a human.
