Depending on their Desktop's architecture it might be required, arm systems do need to utilize CPU emulation to run programs made for x86-64. It's not usually as involved as emulation of a console platform but it's emulation no less.

Steam Deck is an AMD APU that is AMD64/x86_64 architecture.

They were talking about "emulating a Steamdeck on their desktop" implying that their desktop isn't a SteamDeck.
