I have been adding some friends in Steam and I'm thinking if they only see Steam installed games.

If you add a non-Steam game to your games list and launch it, your friends will see the usual "toast" message, but the text will read "LT_Spaghetti is now playing non-Steam game: Progress Quest II". The name of the game in the Friends list is labeled as "non-Steam" in a similar fashion (although I forget the exact wording right now).
This question has some additional details about non-Steam games.

3You can also rename the executable/shortcut before adding it to steam, and Steam will use that name. This can be used for hilarious effects. – Robotnik Jun 11 '13 at 04:59

Thank you for the feedback. I guess it's really cool for having Steam interface in-game. – LT_Spaghetti Jun 11 '13 at 05:37

2@Robotnik I'm thinking when people find out they can set the name, they always go for Your mom first ;) – Lyrion Jun 11 '13 at 06:19
