Of course a guerrilla effort will use ammo and weapons captured, stolen and tricked from the local armies, both US and Afghan. They also will blend with the civilian population, wear civilian clothing rather than military uniforms, and use threats and violence to gain support from the population in which they embed themselves.
It is in the nature of disparate force conflicts that the weaker force will try to supply themselves from the stronger.
As for The Russians and Chinese and Czechs, I think the Czechs might not sell ammo to the Taliban, being strong allies of ours, but the other two would, without blinking.
