Is it fine to put your own country flag lapel pins in your uniform - workplace especially when you work in the front liners e.g Food and Beverage / Front Office?

It's not politically correct IMO.
Many multinational organistions do encourage or mandate it. At the minimum it shows how international their staff and reach is and the benefit to a customer might be knowing that the person dealing with them might speak their language.
Not done the international five star circuit in a while, but I do think either or both the intercon and Hyatt used to identify their reception staff with flags or country idenfiers.
For the hospitality industry it might be OK. But if you work in other sectors I think it's non PC if your peers don't wear the same.
Not sure if its PC, but you could always go with a "friendship flag" pin. Here is a US/HK one

Dude if you wear that in the current environment and step foot in the mainland you might subject yourself to an ass whooping. While it's a great pin displaying your political stance in the wrong place is not a good idea.
