Does it have something to do with exchange rates? Could be shipping, import taxes, higher wages in those countries for local personnel, higher benefits, exchange rates or all of the above plus more. I can't really say. I just know they have to match local prices. Most of my Australian friends tell me Steam matches local prices but they can import for less, which is why they complain.
