Hey there,
in general: Yes you can
BUT:
People will not like it. When you publish a game on steam it is expected to work with no external account requirements, especially with something like facebook which (at least in europe) has a declining popularity. For quite some people this might be the point where you loose them so better put in that bit of extra effort.
uh, i do not really understand. You asked if you should authenticate using steam, i said yes. Steam only offers one method of authentication right?
is your game steam ready? like do you have the steam sdk included in your project? Seems to me like this is not the case and you should do some research in that regard - otherwise you would not have asked this here.
If you don't use a third party account management you will then on top of the steam auth have to find your own solution to bring the facebook and steam auth under the same hood so that people can use one or the other with your accounts.
