pretty much or you can download on one, then just copy it over to your other laptop if you have a network cable

You can download games while playing on another PC/laptop.

Or just copy over the game AND associated appmanifest (acf) file to the other PC/laptop.

Just understand that the copying is not REQUIRED; you can download the game as many times as you want as far as Steam is concerned.

Copying it locally might just save you some time -- and, if you want to try being extra nice without getting anything out of it, saves some data traffic for Steam. But their ISP bills are not really anything YOU have to worry about -- and they COULD be implementing a system where downloads from another machine in the same LAN would be used in preference to downloads from Steam, but haven't done so, which means they don't see a need for saving traffic.
