I do not use the phrase "native place."
My hometown = where I was born and grew up as a child.
My birthplace = where I was born.
My native country = the country where I was born (as a citizen)
My hometown = where I was born and grew up as a child.
My birthplace = where I was born.
My native country = the country where I was born (as a citizen)

About hometown, I would like to complement another meaning in Chinese culture in which sometimes it means ancestral home and it may or may not be the place where one is born.
