Thanks, this is why I asked!
Thanks Mick for the Humble link.
I bought it from there, got an activation code. That didn't work in Steam, so I put the activation code into Rockstar's site and now it wants me to download the PC version.
Does that mean I've cocked up and can't put it on Steam?

It doesn't look like it's the Steam version.
Shouldn't matter, you can still launch it from within Steam

You can add games already installed to steam. If only to use it to track time played and to open it. Not sure if updates work, haven't done it myself for a game which is already on steam

You can add any games to steam by their product key. Usually if you buy from CDKeys or the like they just give you the key, then from within Steam you use the Add Game, input the key and download.
The main downside of buying from a place like CDKeys is there's a chance the key was stolen or cracked, so may be revoked without notice in the future, however the bigger websites like CDkeys and All Key Shop are generally very good at replacing any keys which get revoked.
