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?

Yes. It keeps you from walking in circles if you intend to walk in one direction.
Any additional knowledge about your location, even if broad, makes most useful sense in terms of cardinal directions
