Does it really matter much? It seems like a logical-enough section to place that field under. I can't think of use-cases where a user would be confused about this unless the company using this tool has primed them to think in certain way about Billing. For example, a company that says "we will never email you billing information" can have its users confused. But that is a made up use-case that is uncommon at best.
Why is the CVC field on a different row?
Again, your question makes it sound like there is a well-accepted standard that it should be on the same row. As an online shopper, I am used to finding the CVC field under the CC field and it has never bothered me.
Why is the year only two digits? Y2K led me to believe two-digit years means accidental ICBM lanches.
That could be because most credit cards list two digits instead of four. And if you have made a payment over phone, it is standard to say something like "0614"(instead of June 2014) when asked for expiration.
Just curious - When you mentioned payment over phone, do you mean via SMS? I'm not familiar with that 4-digit MMYY pattern, I've always been prompted for month & year as separate fields.

I meant payment over a phone call when the rep asks "what's the expiration on your card?" and I go "0814" etc.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. :)
