We are working with a heritage institution in a GLAM project and they are interested in access statistics for the resources they have released in Wikimedia. I think I got the point about how the pageviews concept is and how to use it but, as far as I understand, it's not possible to get details like article pageviews, for example, per country.
Depending on what you're interested in, it might be a sufficiently good approximation to look at usage by language.
The short case study about BEIC https://doi.org/10.4403/jlis.it-12481 can give some ideas for statistics to track. See also * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:BEIC (brief overview) * https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:GLAM/BEIC/2015-07#Sommario (analysis in Italian)
If you know the totals for the downloads from Commons, and you get some idea of the distribution by looking at the usage by language or other sources, that might be enough. There's always a certain level of uncertainty, so the exact absolute numbers are rarely that telling. BEIC for example was interested in the (order of magnitude of the) totals and it was useful to know the approximate share of traffic/interest from outside Italy (was it 1, 10 or 99 %?) and how much was due to ongoing "external" interest.
Note that in the mediacounts you can get additional hints by checking the share of requests coming from typical visits on Wikipedia (default thumbnail sizes), visits on Commons or downloads (raw files) and hotlinks.

I'm gonna check carefully your tips. Thanks a lot.
