"using a proxy or VPN to disguise your location is strictly against the Steam Terms of Service and may result in restrictions on your Steam account."

Don't make purchases with it on or circumvent any games own regional restrictions.
there are other ways to get uncensored games, though
You cannot change your Steam store region through VPN use alone. You'd have to commit payment fraud to do so. And that is never a good idea.
Your best option (and take this from someone living in another country dealing with crappy censorship because the rating board thinks we're all children) is to simply play on console. It is significantly easier to buy cross region on any of the consoles and you don't have to commit any payment fraud to do so. You can either import physical releases or buy digitally using the appropriate wallet code cards.
If you go the Xbox route, it's even better as you can buy Game Pass in your region, and access all the games in the region you set your console to, even if those games are not available in your actual region. Note this does not work for the PC version of Game Pass.
There are restrictions as people abused the hell out of it, so if you think you're going to use just a VPN and use an Aussie address and payment method, it aint' gonna work.
Sorry, but it sucks that the Aussie government has some weird over-zealous restrictions on games, but that's what you need to bear in mind when you vote in future.
That's all you can do.
I use a VPN with steam, but I always use servers which are the same as the region i actually live in, so it doesn't actually matter if I buy anything on steam with the vpn enabled, as far as I understand. It's just if you try to get cheaper games using different regions with more favourable prices.
No. It's any region different to your own, even if the games are priced the same (or more expensive). I know someone who lost their account for this reason. They got it back a year later after pleading nicely with Steam support.
It only gets denied when you are trying to circumvent regional pricing which hurts their profit margin
that's an excuse.
what you really meant to say is, you want to use a VPN to bypass regional locations to get cheaper games because you set your location to russia and then swapped them back and took the vpn off. that too is not allowed and it's for that reason VPN's are not allowed any more because users kept abusing the VPN to buy those games in other regions.
And the proof for your allegation is???
Just switching to another region with lower prices via vpn isn't enough. You need to have a legitimate billing address there too in order to make purchases. Valve introduced that regulation years ago. Faking a St. Petersburg or Buenos Aires IP won't give you automatically access to their regional prices in Ruble or Peso. You have to change your billing region first, but to do that your bank account needs to be located in the same country as well. Good luck trying tricks and manipulations with your bank accounts tho, LOL
Unfortunately, if the key is IP activation locked from activation in Australia, this path is also closed to the OP now. Connecting to a VPN alone is no longer enough for Steam to register you being in a valid region.
Its only an issue if you're trying to buy games cheaper, otherwise Valve doesn't care and they have no reason to care. They are not going to punish you for playing a game you purchased. They only care how you purchased it.
I see people misquote the terms of service on this quite a bit, claiming that it says you can't do things like use a VPN to unlock a game early in your region for example. But no one in the terms of service does it actually say this. The only thing its clear on is no regional changes in order to get a cheaper deal. Valve has no reason to care that someone is playing the game they purchased, a few hours early.
Keep in mind that Valve famously temp-banned several accounts that used VPNs to unlock Borderlands early. The SSA doesn't have to explicitly explain every single situation that violates the SSA, the wording in there allows for interpretation.
Also keep in mind that you cannot use a VPN to even unlock games early anymore.
Key activation, staggered regional releases, etc., all work of the Steam store region assigned to your account and that can only be changed by validating your location with a payment (e.g., committing payment fraud if you don't reside in the region you're claiming to be in).
