I think you may be confusing the client-side helpers for Google Play Services with the actual Google Play Services interface. GPS is a service and it is accessed like any service, via either intents or AIDL. Billing v3 is simple enough that it doesn't really need any further client-side help. But we made a sample anyway, mostly because we realize that things like service lifetimes and background threads are hard to get right.
For those who are wondering if you should switch: the answer is probably "yes." IABv2 turned out to be very, very easy to get wrong. V3 is pretty easy to get right. There are a couple things that v3 doesn't support yet (subscriptions, mostly) but if v3 covers your needs, you should use it.
