Correct, could it have been solved without the clue, i wonder.
Pro is the opposite of Con                       Kids of today are so much different
This fact can clearly be seen,                  Don't you know?
If progress means to move forward         Just ask them where they are from
Then what does congress mean?             And they tell you where you can go.  --Nipsey Russell

Nice one. I still don’t get the Putin reference though :-(

Spoiler
The joke answer "Putin's telephone number?" led to the code creator giving the hint "You're not far off", or something like that, which led to the solver thinking about telephones, I'm assuming.

got the idea from an old episode of NCIS where a guy was locked in a coffin and they recovered his phone and saw he seemed to enter a bunch of random numbers until one of them realized he wasn't just entering random numbers because he was losing air but was typing a text message

+7 is the international telephone prefix of the Russian Federation. I did not dare to dial it though, as what if it REALLY were Putin's telephone number?!

Ahh. I wondered if it was because Putin in an anagram of input, which is a relevant word, coincidentally.

That would have really been funny if I had put: 788 844466. using the code i used that would be "PUTIN" lol

Well, for starters there are no

Country two-letter abbreviations of AV, nor is there an element indicated by AV on the table of elements. But I think the letters are paired somehow because there are ten in total.

On the right tracks, both of you...

Stupot, I wondered why you had translated into French for a second. Of course it's not a coincidence... [é used to be es in French] But it needs to be more specific - Mandle is right too.

My thinking was that it’s STATE but backwards. Because if you write the clue backwards you get VAINRIGAKS, which his made up of 5 US state codes (Virginia, Indiana, Rhode Island, Georgia, Kansas).

You are right about the states, but the backwards part was just to make it less obvious. See Mandle's post.
