I believe it only works with machines signed into the same account though, no? This is slightly different in that regard.
By default it's only for the the same account, but you can change it in the download settings to allow transfers to "Steam Friends" or "Anyone".
At a big enough LAN even just getting everyone to change that setting is probably harder than setting up a central cache. Don't underestimate the amount of people that listen to instructions, say sure and then just either not do it, or fail to do it correctly.
Good to know.
By default yes, but you can set it to work for anyone on your friends list.
