.com just implies that it is a "business". It has nothing to do with where the company is located. Many countries have more use of their country domain by their companies (i.e. they use .ca) than the U.S. does.
You can try talking to Kobo about the charge, but the real "culprit" here is Visa. Kobo wouldn't know if you were going to be charged it or not and would get zero from it since it would be something that Visa/your bank is doing. I have seen other U.S. posters complaining about the same thing. Not sure if it is Visa from certain banks or what the "rules" are on it. I can understand how it would be frustrating to get charged the fee (however small) on principle.
