Black Ops 2 is a 'Steamworks enabled' game. This means that it must be installed into Steam in order to play.

You can use the CD to install the game, but after that the CD is useless, it isn't needed again unless you want to reinstall at some point. You don't need the CD in the drive to play the game.

'Steam' is a piece of software, not a company, Steam is owned by Valve who did NOT issue cd/game, the makers of the game purely decided to use Steam as it's distribution service.

When you install Black Ops 2 it will install TO Steam as it is a Steamworks game. Once it is installed and listed in your Steam library you will no longer need the disc to play it.

The disc can be used to reinstall the game later if you don't want to download it but any steam game that is listed in your library does not require a disc to play.
