Under either scenario, the deposit and the refund will be AUD500, not the equivalent amount in US$. The hotel is not going to keep records in a foreign currency. The difference will be who computes the conversion at the times that the deposit is made and refunded, the hotel or your credit card processor; in either case, the rate of conversion at the time of the transaction, deposit or refund, will be used to compute the US$ equivalent.
