That's only true if they want to convert pesos into Bitcoins. However, if they can sell their services directly outside Argentina (say, a web developer for hire), they can get paid directly in Bitcoin.

Good luck supporting a "bitcoin economy" when the only income sources are argentinians selling their services over the net.
Even if Google was based in argentina, and accepted 100% of it's payments in Bitcoin, it would only account for about 10% of Argentina's current GDP.
