If you see a price that's posted in the card's currency, it's not DCC. In certain cases you may see prices posted in multiple currencies — then you can do your math and choose the one that's more beneficial. That was my situation when I was in Jordan — there were places that had prices in both US dollars and Jordanian dinars and in some cases they ended up being slightly better (a few cents) in $$. So if you chose the $$ price and paid in $$, you knew the exact amount and you could see what the dinars would convert to, so that wasn't a DCC situation either. Now if you chose to pay in dinars and THEN they would charge you in $$, that would have been DCC, but they never tried that.
