Gerrard's triggered ability returns artifact and creature cards even if they were put into your graveyard while Gerrard wasn't on the battlefield, so long as they were put there this turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.

- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Permanent spells that were countered earlier in the turn never entered the battlefield, so they won't be returned by Gerrard's ability.
