I'm not sure if you are in the same boat, but I bought ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead many years back directly from the dev's website. I logged into their site about a year ago, copied the registration keys, pasted them into Steam, and was able to redeem it through Steam directly. If your games have CD keys, Steam can oftentimes accept those directly like you are entering a Steam product key. I think you put it into the field where you enter Steam gift cards and product keys.
The Operation Arrowhead DLC (as well as all the others I got after that one, like the PMC addon) is shown on my Steam list and I think around that time they had some way of getting your non-Steam release of the base game on it because at the time they didn't have steam keys to do it, and launching the DLC does start the actual game, but the base game isn't actually listed in my Steam library, so I have no idea what's going on there ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
It's not that big of a deal since I have moved onto Arma 3 years ago and arma 4 is right around the corner.
