Yep, that's exactly how it works.
What's funny is that the credit card that initiated the currency/billing country change isn't automatically selected when the page reloads. One needs to manually select the correct card otherwise it switches right back to the original currency again.
Ask me how I know.....


Here's a pic of what it displays as soon as the page reloads after credit card/currency change:

Pretty sure I know what you're referring to, and I can confirm that it DOES work.
