From my understanding the only country that requires a Carne on that list is Iran. So I need it to check in and check out from Iran. But what do I do with the rest of the countries?
Do I still use the Carne at these borders or do I just import my bike the normal way? Any upside in doing one over the other?

A carnet is not mandatory for Iran, but saves a lot of hassle arranging temporary import at the land border.
In other countries they will issue you some kind of temporary import paper (e.g. Iraq), or just log you in the customs database (e.g. Turkey).
Some people have got their carnet stamped entering Jordan from Saudi Arabia, others have been refused and made to buy a temporary import permit.
