I think you are correct to say that the gravitational pull changes instantaneously at all times due to the motion of all the gravitational bodies.

However, it is assumed that this force change is so small compared to the larger forces (of nearby gravity wells) that it plays an insignificant, and unmeasurable, role with the apparatus available to us at the current time.
