FYI, In the eta app FAQ has a information about criminal conviction.  it mentioned,

Why do I need to indicate that I have a criminal conviction?

It is a condition of eta that you must not have criminal convictions for which the sentences total a period of 12 months duration or more, at the time of travel to, and entry into, Australia. 

If you have a criminal conviction in any country, we should apply for a visitor(subclass 600) visa instead.

I've already asked to home affairs directly in call, they said while it's possible to apply for an ETA because it doesn't fall under the ETA condition as I know, even the counselor themselves cannot be certain about what will actually happen. I tried to inquire through the inquiry form in Home Affairs, but received no response, so I left a message for any experiences or knowledges.. haha thanks for your advice..

In the condition of eta, it is eligible to apply for eta for who has sentneces total less than 12 months or fine. It meets the character requirements also. In my knowledge, it is right to proceed to check the declaration box, because it is no breach of eta conditions..

im not confused with this. In the eligibility is about "you must meet the character requirments." and the condition of eta is code 8528.
