Would they? Why? I'm asking as I'm unaware of what restrictions are in place for it to work.

Edit: i meant to ask: "would they have to approve it?"

They would not. Best case scenario is that you can trick Google into thinking your device/OS is legit. It's of no benefit to them to in any way compromise the security of their highly sensitive payments app.
