Google Pay in local currency

I am in the US, and will be using Google Pay in Europe for the first time. Previously I used credit cards, and always selected to pay with local currency, i.e. euro.

Google's comment on currency conversion:

https://support.google.com/googlepay...ent%20currency.

How currency conversions work

If possible, Google will charge you in the currency of your home country. Google gets this information from the home address that you added.

If that isn't possible, you'll be charged in a different currency. For those outside of the United States, this usually means being charged in U.S. dollars.

Note: You'll always see the currency you'll be charged in before you complete the transaction.

Update your billing country

If you've moved to a new area, you can update your home address so that you'll be charged in your home currency.
Since my Payments Profile has an US address, does it mean I will be paying in USD (converted by merchant) instead of in euro?

If so, is there a way to get around it?
