It should be able because as a company all the data you can get about how people consume your product has value to make business decisions and based in the fact that Steam identifies when you are playing on steamdeck with a little icon the answer is pretty much yes. 

I'll use an analogy for this next question.

Can Nike go into a shoe store and ask the store to not sell their products to a certain group of people?

You have to think about it like they are different stores. Nike sells products in their own stores but also in sports stores. In this case even when the Steam store is basically the same on pc and steam deck Valve knows from where you are buying, store 1 or store 2 (and store 3 if/when xbox integrates steam). So the analogy would be Nike not letting certain stores sell certain products and the answer is yes. In my country you rarely see special edition nikes outside nike stores. The same way Sony has or should have the right to say these are my products I don't want store 3 to sell them and that's basically all. They don't need to stop selling on pc to keep their games outside xbox platforms, they just need for Valve to keep a control of it.

Also just a comment about other comment you made. I don't think xbox is going to use steamOS because steamOS is a legit treat to Windows, it would be counterproductive and even it they do or the next xbox is just a windows pc with a nice price Valve should know that is store 3.
