Yes, it picks up the current locale but even VBScript has a function 
SetLocale to change that so you can easily do e.g.

Dim Pi, OldLocale
Pi = 3.1415927
' switch to en-US and store current default locale in OldLocale
OldLocale = SetLocale("en-US")
WScript.Echo CStr(Pi)
SetLocale OldLocale
WScript.Echo CStr(Pi)

which here on a German Windows version outputs

3.1415927
3,1415927

which means if you change the VB code to use SetLocale "en-US" before 
you create the XML input numbers all should work fine. For all your 
other needs you can easily switch back to the default locale as shown above.
