A company makes a smart decision to pause sales in order to ensure they're not selling their products at a loss due to the drop on the value of rubies....

One shouldn't expect otherwise.

Certainly Apple is adjusting their prices, having said that, a company like Apple, with most of their revenues coming from non-USD currencies, I'm certain that they hedge a large portion of their non-USD revenues/gross margin. The extreme volatility in Russia calls for a revision in product prices, sales forecasting, and fx hedges.

Is this true? Why are all major product releases in the US if most of their revenue is coming from overseas?

The US is probably their largest individual market.

For phones, yes. It's not clear if China is Apple's largest market overall though.
