Basically, they're using the artwork showcase and uploading a crop of the background that lines up with it, so that it looks as if the profile is "transparent" and reveals the background.

There are some guides on how to do this as well as a 3rd party website which will automatically crop any background for you to fit the dimensions of Steam artwork. It doesn't require you to input your login information if you don't want to, but of course since you're downloading the cropped pics you'll need to trust those downloads. I won't link it here because I don't know if Steam filters it or not, just to be safe. But if you don't trust the website, it should still be simple enough to crop the background yourself using the right dimensions.
Best thing to do is get in contact with a profile designer. Just google steam profile designer and start from there
It's a little bit of work, but if you know how it's not too bad. The hardest part is if you need to actually draw/animate what you want in the image that appears to be part of the background more or less. Even more so if the background has animated parts as well.

Basically they get the background and then crop out the section of the background that would be where that image is going to be displayed, then they add anything extra into that image in. If it's just a still image, then they're done, nothing left needed. If anything they added to the image is animated, they just need to add it and of course make sure it's looped correctly so it looks good. If the background is animated, they need to add it but make the loop long enough that it's timed with the animation length of the actual background so that everything lines up perfectly during the entire animation.

There are also Steam guides and groups that show how to do this...
This guide might help. Down below in the guide are also links to other guides, like one for long workshop or guide images: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=748624905
