Steam Question... (L4D2)

So I just purchased Left 4 Dead 2 (disk version) and put it into my computer and installed it. Now me being a steam n00b I wanted to ask a question. After I installed it steam came up and it said it was downloading Left 4 Dead 2. So does this mean I dont need the disk after? Or can someone enlighten me as to what this is about...

Thanks

When the game have been activated on your steam account you'll never need the disc again since you can download it from your steam account.
