My understanding is that Google is not your dealer. It is your agent and payment processor. It's a market not a store. You were and will be responsible for paying taxes, before this change to Google Play and after this change to Google Play. Nothing changed here.
E.g. I'm from Massachusetts and I have to collect taxes from customers from MA. I then have to pay that taxes to the government. It is my responsibility. I can get a sales report from Google and figure out what sales taxes i have to submit to the state and what income taxes to submit to the federal and state government. Google does not pay the taxes for me. You are selling stuff. It is a business and it comes with business processes such as paying income and sales taxes.
