Google actually likes it when you duplicate your content for this purpose. You can create several sites with the same basic content that differ between countries for currencies, taxes, shipping options, or language. Multiple duplicate sites can end up enjoying much better rankings in their individual countries than a single catch all website.

I'm also very leery of IP based identification. I've found that it is wrong often enough that it will cost you customers. Depending on the package you are using it may have error rates up to 10%. It is almost always better to identify that the user may be on the wrong page and use a prominent message to suggest that they move. It is a much more elegant way of handling it that won't turn away a large number of customers.

I've never seen Google rankings hurt because of redirects like your SEO agency is claiming. Rather than hurting your rankings, your approach is inhibiting bonus rankings you could be getting for your internationalization work.
