No you have to purchase a special type of steam account from Valve. It's called a café license. Read more about this here: http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=cybercafes
(from what it sounds like they are going to have a little free cyber café and wanted to let external players play on the server as well. This is possible, and it's also possible to not do the café thing and just specify a sport for each and every client, BUT it is not reliable for 2 people let alone like 6 that you might have at a cyber café.)
