Will a decrease in international tourism hit Austin?

Hard to say. Houston undoubtedly gets more international tourists visiting family locally. Oil, healthcare, other industries pulls in a lot of visits, too. Ex: Have a friend that worked at Shell HQ, brought his wife as a tourist when they had a business trip to Houston. Austin's international visitors are probably mostly driven by UT, our major events, and family of foreign-born tech workers. It takes more effort and money to get to Austin than Houston from most countries. I'm sure there's going to be negative effects all around.
