Google Cloud Storage thru App Engine pricing

I'm planning to use Google Cloud Storage to store user uploaded images and videos to my GAE app (since GCS seems cheaper than blobstore in GB stored per month). I understand that I can use the images thru the blobstore API for image manipulation according to this document.

But taking a look at the pricing I notice there's a network transfer cost of 0.12 per GB. Does that cost add to the standard GAE outgoing bandwidth (that's also 0.12 per GB) making it 0.24/GB for using GCS thru GAE or network does not apply thru GAE? Any programming workaround to avoid the double charge?

If you're using the GAE APIs to access files stored in GCS then there is no bandwidth charge.
