Re: [android-developers] getSkuDetails() returns the price with the developer's set of currency, is it possible to get the buyer's currency code when the purchase is finished?

No. You get local price with the local currency, mostly. No guarantees
though, it seems under some conditions you might get something
different.

Also there is no way to get tax rate, so you can't display the
same price that the user will actually see in the Play Store
client. This makes this API pretty much useless in its current
form.

I don't think so, unless something has changed.
