Jordan is part of the MENA region and hence USD is the correct currency for you.

You can redeem USD wallet cards, this includes those sold in LATAM and MENA regions as they are also USD.

Riyal wallet cards will not work for you.

You're not going to "get in trouble". The system will either allow you to do something, or not.

Steam accepts Riyals from Saudi Arabian citizens only who live in Saudi Arabia physically. As far as Valve is concerned, your currency is USD.

Your account being made in Saudi Arabia means that GTA 5 is also banned for you until you change your store country to USD - MENA, which is the one that should apply for you as you live in Jordan, using a Jordanian payment method that has international payments unlocked.

What "another guy" told you is wrong.
