No, many steam games use steam to verify if you own the game. It's up to developers if they require their game to have steam drm or not.

If the game doesn't have Steam DRM, you can just copy the game folder and run it anywhere. But many games will require steam (with an account that owns the game) to be running before they'll open.

See, that's what I thought, because I have tried to put a game once on another PC and it didn't work. So, it makes sense now, it depends on the devs. This is why I like gog. You just have the .exe and you can install it anywhere you want
