The cluster you linked is in mph so you should ask them if they have any with kph dial faces or get one from ebay.de Swapping dial faces is a possibility but fiddly job with potential to break something so I would get cluster that's already in kph.
Coding and adaption channels like the engine, region, distance and time left till next service can be read and entered in replacement cluster with VCDS or similar tool
Mileage change is a bit trickier as not officially supported by Audi but there are couple of aftermarket tools that should be able to do it or you could re-solder the EEPROM chip from old cluster.

Thank you. I am happy it is possible to swap the cluster. A lot easier than having it rebuilt.
At first I thought the mph doesn't bother me as the dial show kmh as well. But on second thought, I realise that the mileage will be in miles, not kilometers.
Thing is, the clusters I can get here in Sweden cost a lot more. Like £180.
Doesn't look like there is much to choose from the german ebay, just A8.
