Well as I said before I can't 100% assure it wasn't region locked, but I can 100% assure it didn't say it was region locked, It's easy to remember because I have some other stuff in there and those have always been LATAM region locked so "ibb & obb" always stood out from the rest.

by now it's been there for at least a year but I don't remember the exact time
I'm assuming this was the spare gift copy spawned from a key? Go here and look for ibb & obb (CTRL+F). This will tell you the date.
If this date was later than roughly December 17, 2014, it was already region-locked this whole time, but the text indicating that it was region-locked wasn't displayed. I've had that happen with one of the gifts I had (spare gift copy spawned from a key activated on 13 September 2015) - it was region-locked to SEA without any explicit text indicating as such.
And it appears that because people complained that gifts did not show whether they were region-locked, Steam only recently made the text showing it was region-locked explicitly appear.

You're right, it was the spare gift copy and I got it on "23 Apr, 2015" so I guess that would explain it, still it's pretty shitty but whatever, thanks.

By any chance is that one of those games which gives you an extra copy when you activate it? I have one of those (Contraption Maker), I'm guessing that when you activate the ROW gift or key you get the extra key region locked depending on your region, mine didn't say it was locked but when I tried to activate the gift it said that only countries on my region were able to add the game to their library. Now I'm just checking and steam says my gift is region locked, maybe it was just a bug and they fixed it.

So I have a copy of "ibb & obb" on my Steam inventory, by now it's been there for at least a year but I don't remember the exact time, what I do remember however is that it's always been a ROW copy I'm sure of it, today I checked my inventory and it seems that it's been retro actively region locked to LATAM, so is this a thing now?? is there a possibility that it was always region locked even though it didn't say so on the inventory description?? Thanks for your help.
:c
