google sell this as cost price. they plan make profit when consumer buy lots of stuff from their play store.
in country where play store not fully open, where got profit. so they never plan sell here.
asus bring in because they want profit. 249usd is cost price, so the additional increase is profit for asus.

so remember, there are a lot of other costs not listed there, such as shipping, advertising, software development, etc. It is believed that Google only break even with the 8GB variant. 16GB variant however, Google can make some money since the memory cost $7.50 more but selling price is $50 more.
Interesting to note also, Asus is selling 16GB Nexus 7 in Taiwan (Asus home country) for approx NTD9000, which is about RM900++.
