.io names, answered.
Anyone can. A .io name has no residency or business requirements, so you can register it wherever you or your business are based.
No. Although .io is a country code, Google treats it as a generic extension, the same way it treats .com, so it does not target your site at any one country.
Each year the name renews at the renewal price for .io at that time. The current first-year, renewal and transfer prices are on this page, and the cart shows them again before you pay. Every price includes GST.
