LifeinAsia,
Yeah, I don't think so.

Exchange rate applies at the time of the transaction. Using your logic, if I bought a pair of shoes from the States that were made in 1970, I should be paying whatever the rate was back then?

Google's own text that appears right below my payment info:
"Payments are converted to local currency at the prevailing rate at time of payment processing."
