It wasn't. Steam is locked down pretty tight against this sort of thing. You can't gift certain games/game time to people in other regions. When I first moved down here I didn't bother to switch my Steam account to BR because I just never thought of it. Then when my husband tried to gift me a game for my birthday from his BR account it was blocked until I switched mine to match and Steam confirmed the location I was logging in from.
