No, if you select Gift then you can add a key later, after a winner is selected. If you select Key option then you have to add a key immediately before giveaway starts.

I am interested specifically in giving away a gift, because I could not find the key to this game in stores(

In that case you must select Gift option, add a winner on Steam and send a gift. Since you are from Russia you will have to create a region-restricted giveaway because of the price difference.

Steam won't let me send a gift because of regional prices? Sorry, I couldn't find the answer on the internet, so I'm asking here

Yes, since prices can be very different, i.e. game for 100RUB can cost 10$ (~800RUB) in other regions, so Steam will not allow to gift such game.
Here you will receive +10$ for your sent amount (game unbundled and with "full" value), because all prices calculated here in US dollars.

Sadly, yes.
If you want to give a steam gift to someone who is from another region and whose steam prices are at least 10% higher (= yours are at least 10% lower), you can't.
As you are from Russia, you are from one of the regions with the lowest steam prices and thus can't gift to users from most of the world.
Because of that you have to mainly use keys to gift games or you have to make region restricted giveaways.

I want to create a new giveaway. If I select "Gift" in options, will I need to add the winner as a friend in steam and send him a gift? Did I understand correctly how it works?
