Anyone can do this so don't let someone rip you off.
Steps:
FAQ
"Do I need to keep the VPN on when I'm using the account/playing/etc after finishing those steps?"
No. Absolutely not
"Does this have any negative effect on my experience on Steam?"
The only thing I have noticed changing is that you won't be able to use your Credit Card to buy Steam Balance. (since details won't match your credit card)
However, you can always use Gift cards disregarding of their currency, Steam gift cards work worldwide (as far as I know & tried myself)
"Can I switch region every time I want to buy a game?"
No. Steam has rules that you can ONLY change your region once every week (or it once a month? Not sure)
That's why I suggest you pick a region & stick with it for a long time.
"Is this 100% safe?"
I have done this trick myself for years, switched to various regions in Europe/South America for cheaper games and I haven't had a single issue with my account personally.
Yet, I cannot promise anyone 100% that this won't harm you. Use at your own risk
"Can I use this method to start my own Sales topic in the market section above?"
Yes, many people already do this.
Cheers!
