Are those backups playable?

If you then restore them into Steam, yes.

So, they still require Steam to run, so it's not really an offline copy, it's a backup that you could restore if the files got corrupted and you didn't just want to re-download it. But, it still requires Steam, etc?

Yes. Was just explaining what was available / suggested by OP. It's definitely not the same as a DRM-free backup
