I saw this information in a YouTube video, but I find it hard to believe that there are really so few employees there

Yes
And that’s including non-tech guys, like accountants, janitors etc.
Actual employees yes, but they obviously outsource some things to partners.
It is even less
The company Valve employes ~300 people
But they also passive develop games and and are not all working on Steam
EDIT: spelling
I don’t find it hard to believe, most other companies this big are just very bloated and inefficient. While valve hires very talented people who are entrepreneurial and fill multiple roles.
They are one of the most valuable companies per employee in history.

Yes, but likely just referring to full time perm staffers and not counting contractors.
Years ago they let go of some contractors who worked on Steam controller and early SteamVR products
Steam is famously small for its scale, but 300 is likely outdated or misunderstood.
