Can you play non-Steam games on Steam Deck?
Absolutely, you can! The Steam Deck is basically a portable PC, so besides playing games from your Steam library, you can also install software from other platforms or even emulators. You're not locked into Steam alone, making the Deck super versatile.

I've been using my Steam Deck to play a bunch of indie games not available on Steam. Works like a charm! Just remember, not every game's performance will be optimized like they are on Steam, so your mileage may vary with each title.
Gonna be the odd one out and say it's not worth the hassle. Stick to Steam's library; it's vast and optimized for the Deck.
Short answer: Yep! Just because it's called the Steam Deck doesn't mean it's Steam-only. Feel free to explore games from other sources.
