Yes, you can see which games people own on Steam if their profile is set to public. To do this, go to the person's Steam profile, click on the 'Games' tab to see a list of their games, including played hours. If the profile is set to private, you won't be able to view their game list. Respecting privacy settings and direct communication with the user can also be ways to learn about their game library without violating their privacy.
