I think that's right.
Remember that the majority of customers won't be people like us who study the ebook market, compare prices and share our experiences. For the typical Kindle purchaser outside the US, their local price will be the only one they ever see. They'd have no reason to visit the US Kindle store (probably wouldn't even know there was such a thing), so wouldn't even know they were paying an extra $2.
