I just checked a ride I did about a month ago in England and Uber charged my card in £, but my CSP shows the charge in $. My card statement always shows all foreign currency transactions in post-conversion $ no matter what currency the transaction was in. I don't think you got DCCed.
Edit: You can use Google to quickly convert currencies to see that your card gets charged appropriately by using the three letter currency abbreviations.
Example: In the search bar type "850 ARS to USD"
