Valve maintains their own servers, other companies that have games on steam also have their own servers or they can purchase server space from valve (otherwise they're peer to peer)

yes, if you can see in the store (steam) theres a part called "steam cloud" if this is seen it means the publisher is using steam server thus add a little bit of money for the publishers

Okay, but why would anyone want to use Valve servers when you have non-crappy ones like AWS?
