I did make some assumptions, lets lay out the the possible scenarios:
1. NFT points to Steam owned URL
2. NFT points to some decentralized storage (IPFS/Arweave)
3. NFT data stored on-chain
And the skin data itself has these options:
1. Proprietary format that only Steam can read
2. Some format that is readable by third party software
3. Established standard format like SVG (is there an SVG for 3d stuff?)
So if it was steam URL and data is in steam only format then you are mostly correct. IMO, any combination of the other options I think the decentralized skin means more than nothing. The guy didn't pay $60k to only use the skin while playing CS, he bought it as a piece of esports history.
There is a lot more to be discussed about composability with NFTs and the second and third skin data options I described, but just trying to explain the optimistic point of view.

What does that even mean to own a part of esports history? There's nothing to own. Why do you feel the need to own something? What are you going to do with it if you don't use it in game? What could you do besides say "I own this URL that points to a model". Not trying to be rude but this is one of the main reasons why NFTs baffle me.
