There is NO way for the network texting to to know you are out of the country, as far as they are concerned it's a domestic text. Now if you were a customer on another network instead of T-Mobile there are charges for YOU to receive a text while roaming internationally. So in theory the only possible would charge would be your network charging to send the text while roaming outside the US however T-Mobile USA does NOT charge for receiving incoming texts when roaming.
