maybe is better if they will apply different prices based on the country where they operate, based on fact that even 1$ can be a lot in certain countries

This is certain. For different countries there should be different prices. Since a person will prefer a pirated film than pay a large price for it.

I think the intention was also to focus on low income countries first. And i believe this is smart, that is a market that can probably use a streaming/Netflix type service, but can't really afford Netflix.

Today it is not easy to use different prices because it is hard to identify where the user comes from. It is easy to fake the country where you access the internet.
Maybe the language could be a chance to use different prices.
To use a ID to set the country would have a good result but needs lots of effort before watching a movie.

If they are offering different prices for different countries what would someone stop from using a VPN to get the cheaper price?

You are overestimating the capacity of people to fudge. Percentage-wise, it wouldn't even amount to people doing that at 5%. VPN and proxy are good for getting access to stuff that aren't available in a certain region but not necessarily for fee fudging. You have to be mindful of currency exchange fees on credit cards. With flix tokens, it might be different but I don't think the numbers will be significant enough.
