For digital wallet gift cards sent directly through Steam, no. It will not unlimit your account.

How do I gain access to these features?

You will need to spend at least $5.00 USD within the Steam store. Click here to view your current limited user spend.

Some examples of purchases that grant access to these features are:

• Adding the equivalent of $5 USD or more to your Steam Wallet
  
• Purchasing game(s) that are equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
  
• Adding a Steam Wallet card that is equal to $5 USD or more to your Steam account
  
• Purchasing a Steam gift that is equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
  
  

  (Receiving a Steam gift or digital gift card from a friend doesn't count)

Physical cards/codes purchased at other retailers, yes.
