I have activated games not available in Japan over the past year, and had no problems.
Is it limited to select games only or all of them?

It's limited to select regions:

Q: Speaking of gifts, what are the regions wherein such purchases have restrictions?
A: Put simply, gifts purchased in Asia, Central/South America, Eastern Europe, South-east Asia, the Middle East, China, India, South Africa and Turkey (click the links for specific countries) can only be redeemed by users in the respective regions (e.g. a gift purchased in Eastern Europe is only of use to someone else in Eastern Europe). Steam makes no secret of this during checkout, though, so it's virtually impossible to accidentally send someone a region-locked gift.

Just to make it abundantly clear, it is possible to freely exchange gifts within each respective region (e.g. someone in Argentina is perfectly capable of redeeming a gift purchased in Brazil as both countries are part of the Central/South America classification) and users outside of these regions are free to send unrestricted gifts to users within them (e.g. someone in Russia is perfectly capable of redeeming a gift purchased in the US, but not the other way around).

That sucks.
Price errors never happen for EU Gaf... Either this, or the Amazong Street Fighter V one.

Enjoy Latin America !

From what I understand, it can be gifted, but you'll have to use VPN to redeem it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been told that Valve bans people who redeem Steam gifts from other regions using VPN (or something along those lines). I have no idea. May be true, may be just scare tactics.

Though I believe people have been banned who use VPN to buy the game, I don't believe anyone has ever been banned for redeeming one using VPN.

If you want to play it safe, make an alt account or something,

This post isn't by me, it's by a guy with the same username as me.
I can try to buy the game for some gaffers.

I live in brazil and using a VPN just completed a purchase (I created a new account).

Just remember that your steam account need to be south american to redeem the game.
