I wish, but it feels like Valve is still mostly trying to support x86/x64 type devices and ARM/RISC-V doesn't seem on the roadmap as much.
Maybe in 10 years after SteamOS has conquered this space, that could be the next target to expand into...
They have in fact been working on a ARM compatibility layer and Android app support through Waydroid.

I remember them investing into x86 emulation. I think the rumors suggested that it's for Deckard, their next VR headset. If that is true it should be a short jump from there to phones.
