You got the Chinese version before it got trade locked. As long as its activated on your account you're fine. They could potentially add a "onlyallowrunincountries" tag and then you'd be fucked, but its very unlikely they do that.
Region doesn't matter in terms of who you'll be able to play with. Online is governed by Rockstar Social Club anyway. Kind of like Ubisoft is with uPlay. So yes, you'll be able to play with your friends fine :P

CN = China, and im not sure how u were able to activate it, since you cant buy gta 5 as gifts from china anymore "Notice: Grand Theft Auto V is not available for purchase as a gift in China.", or maybe the gift was bought before it got locked.
i dont know what to tell u, once i got a free steam key of Hitman Absolution Sniper Challenge from a chinese site (had no restriction when i activated it), and after i bought a new pc that was capable of running newer games, tried to install it and it said something like "you are not in the right region to play this game"

There are no such thing as GTA 5 Steam keys, and there are dealers that sell steam gifts, they just send gifts to your email.
Only way to get GTA 5 on Steam is to buy it from steam, every other site including GMG, Amazon or physical copies only offer you Rockstar Social Club key.

EDIT: the online dealer logged into my account and somehow bought the game for $29, am I fucked?
Isn't this a form of VPN kinda? You might be fucked.

im about 99% sure that you wont be able to run GTA 5 as long as you're not in China and you'll have a hard time explaining that to steam support

But it was already added into my library, I would be able to play unless they slap a add a "onlyallowrunincountries" tag to it. If they do so, then the game is retroactively locked, it would create a massive shit storm for steam right?

there was already a shitstorm because of region locks that afected hundred thousands of users, and guess what Valve did? - correct, nothing.
now what do you expect if they retroactively lock a game that only affects a few hundred users?
