The way that I understand it is that currency conversion fees are totally dependant on the credit card (IE the bank that issues it) and don't have anything to do with Visa and Mastercard. Some charge conversion fees some don't and they likely change from time to time. So I would always check before you travel.

Here is an older article that shows that both the bank and VISA/MC may influence the charge:
consumeraffairs.com

But note the last line:
"The final decision on currency conversions and other fees rests with individual banks."
