Probably, yes. We will see how it turns out performance wise in the end - given the large cooler the Steam Machine might be designed to run all of the parts quite hot. However the lack of VRAM in the Steam Machine will probably end up harming it a lot, just like with the Xbox Series S for a lot of games.
There has been some developer optimization for the Steam Deck, but that has been extremely sporadic and is nothing in comparison to the kind of optimization done for the PlayStation. The Steam Machine would likely be the same.
The various online writers who have breathlessly said that this thing will be as good as a PS5 Pro are delusional.
