Google said:

Today we’re announcing an enhancement for in-app display ad campaigns that enables app developers and marketers to show ads to people who have made in-app purchases through the Play Store. This is an addition to the Google Display Network feature we recently added that allows you to reach people who have previously purchased a paid app. These new settings can help you identify and create a campaign strategy around your most valuable customers.
