Can a US power 3-prong Flat power cord, rated for 125V be safely used on
220V electricity?
(if just use US/EU travel adapter).

Yes. Most are rated to 300v.
If you want a replacement for yours (as in your previous post), one of these
solutions might work:

There is sticker on cable, rated to 125V.. So I should consider it rated to
300V and safe?
Technically, why used flat cable type?

Look on the cord itself and there should be a max voltage rating. The two
that I have close at hand both have "300 volts" imprinted in the cord
covering itself (one for a Gateway PS, and the other for a Compaq).
If you have your old cord, look at the size of the wire listed on the
covering. Somewhere on it, there should be a stamp like "3x18AWG" or
similar. If the one you are wanting to use is the same or larger, you
shouldn't have any problem. Remember, a smaller gauge number (AWG) is a
larger wire, which will handle a higher current. 16AWG is larger than 18AWG.
The only reason IMO that a flat wire is used is that it folds up into a
smaller space than a round one.
