Does this affect you?
So, I've gotta ask just to make it perfectly clear. I live in Bolivia, and our steam store's currency is only in USD, always has been. Does that mean that a wallet code from the US, in USD, would still work for us here in Bolivia?

indeed. it'd match your local steam store currency.

I fund my Steam wallet directly from my paypal, so I don't think this new restriction will affect me.
I feel bad for the users it does affect though, it seems like an unnecessary restriction.

So to be completely sure I can't send a wallet code in INR currency to someone lives in Philipines with PH currency right? Even no currency conversion?

Some info from me experience
My account in UAH but i activate RUB (12.10.20) + USD (03.09.20) + AUD (30.10.20) steam wallet code without problems
My friend with RUB account cant activate Euro steam wallet code
In MSI reward programm ( its WW) said they codes dont work in Turkey, Russia and Argentina, and they give ur codes in NT$
so I think that the restrictions apply so far only in 3 countries with cheap games: Turkey, Russia and Argentina

Note:
We have made some changes to how Steam Wallet Codes are redeemed on Steam, as part of our ongoing effort to reduce scams like the ones explained HERE. These changes should not impact regular customers who enjoy using Steam wallet codes they purchase at retail in their local currency.
Each Steam User Account is associated with a specific currency, which you can see in the top right corner of your Steam Client. Going forward, you may encounter an error if you try to activate a Steam Wallet Code issued in a different currency than the one of your Steam User Account.
If you have questions about your ability to redeem Steam Wallet Codes, please contact Steam Support. If you are concerned about the legitimacy of a Steam code you have purchased, you should ask your retailer.
Please visit our Where to buy Steam Wallet Codes article to find Valve-authorized retailers for genuine Steam Wallet Codes.
Note: This applies to physical gift cards only. Such as you can buy in a store. Not the digital gift cards. On those digital cards there's a "3 day friend timer".
Possible reasons for this change include steam's battle against credit card fraud,
and players using roundabout ways to get discounts using foreign currencies.
Sadly this will also mark the end of physical gift card giveaways at GGPlayers.
But, that'll just mean more games will be given away instead!
