AirNZ does the same thing on their own websites from my experience.
The UK Domain version of the ANZ website was trying to sell internal flights within NZ at more than twice the price of the NZ domain website (no VPN shenanigans, just accessing the .UK and .NZ domains was enough the drastically change pricing). They have have updated their pricing methodology since.
Perhaps it's therefore not strange that trip.com sees the expensive NZ fares?
