^ Pretty much correct.
The only way to let owners of retail games (without Steamworks) and players with games bought the same game on Steam together is making use of an alternative matchmaking system, like Hyperlobby, Gamespy or something similar. So it's possible for retail owners of IL-2 1946 to play on the same servers as Steam users. In case of CoD it seems like they use Valve's matchmaking system, so Steam is (for some people unfortunately) a must. An optional choice would be nice, of course.
