What would adding the games to Steam accomplish? I assume I can’t just log on to my account and have the required files to download and install the games since they’re not originally from Steam. Or is it just a matter of being able to launch them once they’re added to the client? Or a convenience thing?

All of the above. Steam automatically downloads and installs proton if you go into the settings and enable compatibility mode. It will run the most recent proton and just play the game. You also allow it to be in your group of games on Steam so it’s convenient. And yes you can launch them from the client. The only thing you can’t do is download the exe yourself you would have to get that from Gog or whatever.
