Can players on Steam OS play with people on PCs?

I want to play PlanetSide 2 with my brother, but he only plays Consoles, so I'm thinking of getting him a Steam Box. Will my plan work?

ETA: PlanetSide 2 is a free game, so anybody out there with a steam box can answer this easily just by trying it out.
