It's no different than buying things with a credit card and having the payment processor convert your currency to the local currency etc.

I think if the payment processor does that, they will also reimburse you in your currency, not the local one

Can't you just switch currency on your bank card, avoiding conversion?

Some banks allow that, but very likely the card networks‘ conversion rates are going to be much closer to mid-market.
