If you take your block and pistons to a reputable shop then they will bore and hone each cylinder to each piston ,which of course they will number each piston for the cylinder it belongs to.
Also if I were you I would pay the extra money to have them use a torque plate when they bore and hone your cylinders.
In the end the person you are talking to at the machine shop should know everything he needs to do.
As for money wise just remeber you always get what you pay for.There is no standard charge every shop is different.
