The only way steam is not itself a DRM is if copying installed steam files is a facsimile of everything the game needs and expects. I do not think that all "DRM-free" games in steam are excluded from making some kind of necessary system changes as part of its install process. Be that changes to registry, or the likes.
In other words, if the install process is necessary, then steam itself acts as a DRM, even for otherwise DRM free games, as you cannot easily copy the install files. Or, at least, not to my knowledge at least.
