android inapp purchase product price in local currency

Is it possible to get product price in local currency from the app itself. For example if I am selling Product1 with price of 1$ through Google Play In App billing. A customer from UK clicks on a button to purchase the product and the price at Google Play is shown in GBP. Can I get localized price in the app from Google Play so I can display it to the customer in its own currency?

Does Google Play convert currency?

Google uses the exchange rate at the time the order is placed to convert sales processed in the buyer's currency to the currency of your Google account. This rate updates throughout the day, and conversion occurs each time an order is charged. You'll see the exchange rate in your order receipt for each app.

The in-app billing v3 claims to be able to accomplish this:

The API also introduces a long-anticipated feature: the ability to query in-app product information directly from Google Play. Developers can now programmatically obtain an item's title, description and price. No currency conversion or formatting is necessary: prices are reported in the user's currency and formatted according to their locale
