This is accurate but they've started getting antsy about free steam keys. I think it's due to pay-what-you-want bundles but they haven't really given any official statements, it's just second-hand from various developers. I suspect the policy on free keys may change now that literally anyone can toss a game up on the store and we've started seeing people maliciously manipulate the system (games that mine bitcoins and have in-app purchases designed to defraud users). They already made changes to filter out reviews from people who got game keys "for free" because of that sort of manipulation.
I suspect they'll either put a limit on # of free keys or start charging per key, something like 5% of your listed retail price.
