Problem is, that the poker room would not be able to buy the private BOT that is capable of winning at mid/high limits...they are not for sale!

The sites don't need to know the poker logic that the bot uses. They need to know how the bot interfaces with the site.
Of course you don't need to purchase the product. A smart IT person should know all possible methods of interfacing and detection alluding that a bot is capable of.
Devising acceptable and effective methods for detection is the problem.

Online site can't do much about the screen scrapping issues. Bot only need a screenshot and can have the complete game states, after they only move the mouse to buttons (i know algorithm that can emulate human mouvement very well). They can put the bot code on a remote cpu and use remote control to get screenshot and mouse control. Site can't do much about that!!
The Turning Test can help a little but i dont think it's really help keep online poker safe. You can just put a observator with no domain knowledge who assists bots and solve turning test when it's happen
But the real problem will be when AI will be world-class, we shoud expect that in 10 years
