Correct, when you acquire from a supplier who is located in your own EU country VAT is collected at the time of purchase, you can claim it back. If you acquire from abroad you have to self account for VAT because the supplier will not collect it.

It has to go down that road eventually

Maybe an API at the EU level that payment processors have to use. This way EU admins could change rules easily in a centralized way.
