If you can see it, it's actually condensation. Like in clouds, mist and fog. Actual steam is invisible and 100 °C or higher (about 212 °F in American money).

You'd die in a bath hot enough to have real steam. However I'm being pedantic as condensing water vapour (which can be hot enough to cause burns or cold enough to chill) is often called steam.

Though I'd not rely on HZO treatment. I'd regard it as helping to preserve from accidents. I've opened a Libra H2O, it's nicely made but I don't think much of the design approach to waterproofing or understand why power switch isn't on the main PC to save on wiring and a sub PCB. It would also need carefully dried and not dunked in salt or dirty water as there could be electrochemical action of the gold on the USB attacking other bare metals. The buttons may be prone to grit between the visible parts and the actual switches. I'd be sceptical as to the long term waterproofness of the switches.

I'd put in a ZipLock back at the beach, batch, shower or sauna.
