Yes. Just because you bought a game on Steam doesn't mean you have to purchase all additional content through them as well. Steam installs full-fledged applications directly in the OS, not locked down sandboxed apps like on iOS.

AFAIK if you bought the game from steam all subsequent micro transactions form that account/client still incur a fee to Valve.

The Steam apps are “sandboxed” as in you cant run them without Steam, they use their own executable that is tied directly into Steam.
