No, and here is why
Google Play credit sits on your Google account and can only be spent in the Google Play Store. Apple credit sits on your Apple ID and only works in the App Store and Apple's services. The two systems do not talk to each other; even the same app bought on both platforms is billed through its own store.
What you can do with the wrong card
As long as the code has not been redeemed you can pass the card on to someone with the right device. Once a code has been added to an account the credit cannot be moved. So only redeem a code when you are sure it matches the right ecosystem.
Unsure when buying a gift
If you do not know which device the recipient uses, pick a brand-neutral card accepted at many shops, or simply ask. It saves a gift that sits unused for months.
