I want to buy two games via my credit card. I have a question, or two. Will the transaction show up anywhere besides their computers? Can i use my native currency ( my country does not use Euro ) ?
Thanks!

I would expect the transaction to show up on the CC's issuer's systems, the merchant's systems, and yours.
At the very least.
As far as I know, Steam uses EUR for the entirety of Europe with the exception of Russia.
(Turkey being Asia and having no business being included in Europe except for her occupied territories.)

So no paperwork to show up at my house and such? Just electronics...
Automatic conversion LEI>EURO?

No. Technically the Ural mountain range (and river) is the divide between Europe and Asia; it splits Russia in 2 very unequal parts. Incidentally, it does the same to Kazachstan.
The Caucasian mountain range is the southern border of Eastern Europe, officially; it splits Georgia, Azerbaijan in a fashion similar to the Urals dividing Russia.
Turkey has historically occupied and currently occupies parts of Bulgaria and Greece on the European continent, but is strictly Asia (ME, really).
Big difference between the European Union and Europe though; Europe consists of 50 sovereign nations, the EU of 28.

Depends on the contract you have with your CC issuer. I would not expect it under normal circumstances.

It should. Again this is subject to your contract with your CC issuer.

Never had any receipts/statements whatever from Steam through standard mail. Just the line on my standard bank statements.
You don't even have to use a credit card for steam now. If you want to totally avoid a 'paper trail' as it were, you can buy steam vouchers IRL, and just credit the code to your account.
In the UK, Game / Gamestop sells these. You'd probably need to check out their website to see if they stock stores in your country.
<3 Steam
