Does North Macedonia use the Euro? If so, yes.

I don't think so, anyway on the back of the physical steam card there should be more information, it's been years since I bought one but I think I remember that the ones in my country said that they could only be used here.

The currency that Macedonia uses in real life doesn't matter. It's whatever currency the store is set to for users in that region that matters. Steam does not support the denar, so chances are Macedonians have to pay in the Euro on Steam like other European countries that do not have supported currencies.

As long as the currency matches, you can use the gift card.

Yep, if your store currency is the Euro, you can use Euro gift cards, no matter where they are from.
To use a physical gift card, your Steam Store region must be set to the region that uses the currency printed on the card.
If your in a different region that uses a different currency, then the physical card is worthless to you as attempting to use a store region you don't live in is a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement.

Simply trying to use a gift card from a different currency is not a violation of the SSA alone. It would only be so if you attempt to circumvent regional restrictions or change your store to a region you don't actually live in.

Are there country restrictions on Steam Wallet Codes?

Yes. We have made some changes to how Steam Wallet Codes are redeemed on Steam, as part of our ongoing effort to reduce scams like the ones explained here. These changes should not impact regular customers who enjoy using Steam wallet codes they purchase at retail in their local currency.

Each Steam User Account is associated with a specific currency, which you can see in the top right corner of your Steam Client. Going forward, you may encounter an error if you try to activate a Steam Wallet Code issued in a different currency than the one of your Steam User Account.

If you have questions about your ability to redeem Steam Wallet Codes, please contact Steam Support. If you are concerned about the legitimacy of a Steam code you have purchased, you should ask your retailer.

If you pay in Euro on the Steam store (as in all prices are in Euro) you will be fine.
