Are there really providers that price usage of different APNs
differently in this manner? Those I've had dealings with only consider
the amount of MB transferred - exactly which APN I'm connecting to
doesn't matter. If I get the APN wrong, the only thing that happens is
that I simply won't be able to get on-line.

Most other platforms, like Android, iOS, and SailfishOS for example,
appears to simply go with the defaults APN they have in their provider
database without asking user confirmation (and SFOS even uses m-b-p-i).
That seems to work out just fine for them, so I can't help but wonder
if you're being overly cautious here.

That would be a big step in the right direction. :-)
