The devil is in the details.
When not using su root, but sudo you need to pay attention to small things, like
With su:
"echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/master//xUbuntu_24.10/ /' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list"
"curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:master//xUbuntu_24.10/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_master.gpg > /dev/null"
With sudo
"echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/master//xUbuntu_24.10/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list"
"curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:master//xUbuntu_24.10/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_master.gpg > /dev/null"

Find the 2 differences, that is where you go wrong
As sudo you try to create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list. without using sudo!!
/etc is not a place a regular user has permissions to create/write to

Noted and corrected on the wiki.

But to be fair, that should work all the same as it is the same signing key for all builds (I presume) and then put into the respective repo's but all under a different name.
So, I guess the real problem is not using sudo in the correct manner
