Steam doesn't set the regional prices, the game's producers do, I mean some games here on the Australian Steam store are like $90 when they are $60 in America even when the Australian dollar is almost as strong as the American dollar and a few months ago was stronger than the American dollar (at least according to the exchange rates from PayPal).

In terms of discounts, the summer sale is mostly like the other sales (daily, weekend, ...) except crammed into a much shorter time. In that respect assuming you're only buying games you want the sale is not a good reason to keep yourself from buying a discounted game now. If you don't have anything in particular that you want, then the sale is good simply because it offers a big selection at one time.
Also the big sales have bundles of all the games from various publishers offered at a big discount, so if you're interested in that it's worth waiting for them.

Is it worth saving up for?
Most of my friends have given up on buying Steam games outside of sales because of how severely cut down all the prices are during the sales, and how frequently this keeps happening.
So yeah, I'd say it's worth it.

It depends... do you think just about every game on the entire Steam store going on sale at the same time is good?
Do you think objectives you can complete in games in order to win free stuff is good?
Do you think extra daily deals which go even deeper than the sales already going on are good?
:P

I hope it is! Well biggest sales/events on steam are summer sale and winter/christmas sale, so I have high expectations..
Btw I'm just wondering what will happen with amazon during steam summer sale since they match the prices with steam all the time :D

I have been hearing a lot of buzz about the upcoming summer sale. Is it really that good or is it the same as ever other steam sale?
