You are correct, it is what happened to you last time; the billing address of the credit card is the key. You need to select the country of billing address. If it's a Chinese card and you choose USA and US$ it simply reverts back to China and CNY.
Added: You need to select appropriate country where it asks: "Country associated with your billing address", and here's the skinny:
