The answer is yes. Look: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1118310/discussions/0/2952662254362800196/#c2952662254363162356

But you can already install cores 'manually', especially what you want, the PS2 core (PCSX2). Check this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2601952004

Then watch this short video on how to configure PCSX2 in RetroArch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EnWeztB8wI

I very much doubt that the PCSX2 core will be made available on Steam since using it requires the PS2 BIOS files (which are copywritten).

I don't see why this would prevent RetroArch from adding PCSX2 core itself, there's nothing wrong with it. And there's ways to dump ps2 bios files without modding.

Because the cores they currently offer on Steam work without BIOS files, meaning that, for all intents and purposes, they work "out of the box".

If they offered cores that required copywritten BIOS files on Steam, then there would be a host of issues, from inexperienced players to possible legal issues. It's one thing to offer the cores somewhere that only people wanting to get into emulation and are willing to learn the legal and technical aspects involved, it's another entirely to offer it up to a huge audience whose expectations are, to put it mildly, incompatible with those realities.
