Being quick: If I win a giveaway but don't use the key (like, let's say I give it to a friend or whatever), can I still enter other giveaways for the same game later? Like, the fact that I won the giveaway will make Steamgifts count as if I own that game on my Steam library? ('cause like we all know, you can't enter giveaways of games you already own).

No. And that would be against the rules, I advise you to only enter for games that you want to activate on your steam account.

Oh, I see. It's just I entered a NieR - Automata giveaway 'cause I wanted to give it as a birthday gift to a friend, tbh my PC can't even run the game, but, still, maybe, later on, I would get interested on it, when I have a better PC. Guess I'll just buy it in time.

You have to redeem the key by yourself. (sg rule)

That would violate two rules: first, not activating won key on the associated account, second, if you win it again, it is a multi-win, which is a separate offence. You'd have to kiss goodbye for the site for 5 days and for all potential wins for a month after someone finds out. Not to mention that you would fail most any SGTools-protected forum giveaway checks.

Hmm, okay, but, can I just give the key to him, and never enter another NieR giveaway? Would that still be against the rules?

Read the faq.
It's against the rules not to activate games on your account!
If you're not interested in a game then don't enter GAs for them.
