Will PC disc games automatically download on steam?

I play all my games on console, but I am soon making a full changeover to PC. I am not new to computers, but I am kind of new to Steam and overall PC gaming. Due to me not finding the "better" editions of the games I want on the Steam store, I decided to pre-order all the games for disc. But before I do this, I want to know one thing:

If I put the disc into the PC, will it automatically download onto steam, or will it just play off the disc? What exactly happens?

Please don't question me about why I wouldn't just get digital games etc. I will only get the digital copies of already released games and/or games without extra content in them (Season Pass) etc. Please tell me if there is actually a way to buy the "better" editions of the game (digital) with steam keys etc.

Thanks in advance!
