Your instinct is correct. It can be skipped for the apt-get command. The current working directory has no influence on the installation.
But be aware, that the following command
ln -s /usr/games/steamcmd steamcmd
creates a symlink in the current working directory. So if you want it to be in the steam users home, then it needs to change to
ln -s /usr/games/steamcmd /home/steam/steamcmd
That is maybe, why they added this step.
