We have been talking about MW2's multiplayer quite a bit recently, so this should lead to interesting speculation...

What we are seeing is a Steam Group of IW (and possible QA) MW2 players. Clearly the group has played both MW2 SP and MP on PC.

What does all this mean?

This could be all innocuous. Perhaps they're just making MW2 available for digital download...or IW might be using making Steam mandatory for MP.

If so, will Steam be our new in-game browser? Steam can provide a really great matchmaking interface - though I personally am not a fan of the service.

Note that even if we will be using Steam, it does not rule out the use of dedicated servers. Or does it?

Nothing is clear or obvious at the moment. What is obvious is that as Jason West has said in the past, IW is looking at a Steam matchmaking service...is this the first evidence of that?
