In the past, APNIC has arranged for some large networks to announce various
research prefixes to help with measuring the traffic received. I believe
that they work with very large networks because of the high volume of
traffic. Mark Dranse explained what happened when the RIPE NCC announced
that prefix for APNIC here:

tions/2010/pollution-in-1.0.0.0-8/at_download/download

I would be surprised if Google was announcing APNIC's research prefixes
without a suitable LOA. 

Regards,

Leo
