No - an example from ikea, using UK (17.5% vat), Italy (20%), and the US (0% for internet pricing).
Italy: ?349 (20% VAT = ?279 == ~$384)
http://www.ikea.com/it/it/catalog/products/90126571
UK: £299 (17.5% VAT = £247 == ~$374)
http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30126569
US: $399 (0% VAT)
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50126573
Now, that is proper regional billing. Not saying the chair is $399 in the us, ?399 in europe and £400 in the UK, when VAT does not apply.
