any SteamPowered(r) game you buy with an actual ROM set has
1 the "magic key" to prove you did your purchase
2 a copy of the steam download files (as of date of pressing)

so what happens when you do the install is

1 you run the installer which brings Steam online
2 you provide the key
3 the installer copies the files from the disc to your SteamCache(r)
4 Steam does the unlock to the files
5 any updates to the install are downloaded

in fact i think you can just use the key and download the files from Steam.
