This is only the plugs.
This is not a converter.
Yes, you need both the converter (these plugs) and your converter (the little white box that comes with either your iPad or MacBook).
Look closely at the converter and they tell you "input 100-240v" that means it'll work in Europe and the U.S. This means that you don't require a step down.

Yes, the ones for Europe and Brazil, can technically be interchangeable. But I would not recommend it. It may work, but it could also ruin your product, or the socket it is plugged into.

Brazil, Europe (most of) and NORTH Korea can all use the same plugs, with small differences. The prongs in Europe lean slightly inward, while the ones from Brazil do not; and the prongs for South Korea are slightly larger.

Yes! They use a 3pin plug (same as the UK) which is included in the travel adapter pack..

These plugs do not convert voltage, but the apple chargers and power adapters that these are meant for work ANYWHERE in the world. You can confirm this by reading the tiny print on the charger/power adapter and see that they support an input voltage of 110V to 240V and 50 to 60 Hz.

I recently went to Italy and while the common european adapters (types C,E & F) can be found in most places in Italy, sometimes you will only find an Italy specific 3-prong plug (type L). The Italy specific plug is not in this kit. I would purchase one in addition to this kit, just in case you find yourself somewhere with the Italy specific outlets.

None of these will work in South Africa. You can buy adapters that can convert UK/US/etc to South African.
