Open the Steam client. Click Steam followed by Settings. In the new window, go to the Interface tab. Look for the box labelled Start Steam in Big Picture Mode, put a check mark in the box and click OK. Exit Steam. Now any time you launch a game from your desktop, Steam will start in Big Picture mode.

As long as they trigger the overlay at all, yes.

How do i make sure a game would trigger the overlay

It will do so if the game is designed to use the Steam overlay, or in the case of a third-party game, if nothing blocks or interferes with the overlay.
