The Australian GP was also a relatively 'cold' GP, as were the Barcelona tests. The Malaysian GP will probably be more indicative of actual tyre wear.
There is no doubt in my mind that if Pirelli brought only the hard compound tyre to every race, people would then start to complain about how predictable the racing had become. After just a few laps, we would start to wonder if the 'ever so light on its tyres, whilst also being very quick on them' Lotus of Raikkonen's, could fall prey to an engine failure or driver error. Neither would seem likely.
In fact, the last few races of the 2012 season were indicative of Pirelli's rather conservative tyre options for those races.
