People in other countries don't use USD to buy Nvidia GPUs, do they? Does Nvidia only accept USD? I would assume they would have somewhat independent foreign markets set up.

It would be a company which would be buying in bulk, which would use USD while buying.

What you mention is about an individual buying from an e-commerce site or a retail seller. That can happen in the local currency.

Does this mean that A100 and H100 are not sold through retailers?
