I’ve seen people share tecniques and tips for defining east/west in a survival situation (using sticks, stones) and I’ve always heard how useful a compass is, but I’ve always wondered why is that? If I’m lost in a forest and I don’t know my surroundings, is a compass still useful to me?

The people who are saying it’s to keep you from walking in circles are correct. Unless you’re in a place like Siberia you basically can’t walk for a day or two in a straight line and not find some sign of human habitation. It might not get you back to exactly where you started from but you’ll survive, which is the goal in a survival situation.
