or do these products work on all these voltages ?

Power converters weigh a lot. You should get a universal charger if you
can. Nikon now ships such with their cameras. They are very lightweight and
with the right plug adapter will work anywhere in the world. Here's one,
but only for AA size batteries:

The problem is they come with unnecessary 7' power cords. I then cut them
down. The first one I made 18". Then next one I do (for the Nikon charger)
will be only 12" or less. This picture is the first of three showing my
splicing: http://www.donwiss.com/pictures/rpd/h0009.htm

As for the plug type look at this chart: http://kropla.com/electric2.htm
