If I buy a game then move to a country where it's banned, can I still play it?

I'm currently in university abroad but plan to spend my vacation back in my home country. I recently learned that Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is banned there. Would I be able to play it since it's in my library?

Yes, as you don't change your steam region just for a vacation.

Even if he switched that would be irrelevant. After 90 days in your library a game loses all region restrictions.
So you can play your games without worry, even in your home country.
Also "banned" usually just means the game is not sold on the Steam Store and maybe has a activation lock for Steam keys in that country.
But since the game is already in your library both of those are meaningless too.

The important thing is that you can activate the key you get from Humble and the game is in your Steam library.
The 90 days countdown starts as soon as the game is in your library, either by buying on Steam or activating a key.
So yes, Humble games will also work worldwide after 90 days no matter what but you have to activate them first.
