Does Red Faction: Armageddon require Steam?

Red Faction: Armageddon requires Steam.

I am not able to find an official statement but users reported that retail version installs Steam. The same would happen for keys you buy from other digital delivery services.

If you buy a key you can activate it as described by this QA.
