I've moved my Apple account between 3 countries now - while I can't update some apps through iTunes, the updates are always available on the devices themselves, and if I try to buy an app purchased in another country, it downloads it without any hassle.

The Mac App store is a bit different - you cannot redownload apps purchased on another country (so when I reinstalled Mac OS and needed to install iPhoto, I had to revert my account to the previous country).

How did you set this up? For me to download an app from another country, I need to log out of my current store and log into the other one. It's annoying, and causes problems.

That's how it works on iOS. You just need to log into the other account. That it's on a desktop just makes it easier.
