Between a card to pay for accommodation will I use mainly Austrian currency or are euros useful?

Austrian currency is the Euro. They haven't had their own currency since the early 1990's.

You can pay with your credit card nearly everywhere, nevertheless there are some cash-only places. Payment apps (e.g. Apple Pay) on your mobile phone have become very popular, too. To get cash from an ATM it is best to have a debit card, using a credit card imposes extra fees, in either case a PIN is required. For online purchases in Europe some merchants request that the 3-D Secure security feature is to be activated on your card, most notably OeBB, the Austrian National Railroad.

Here I was under the impression it was the AUS Dollar. Good to know.
