How would you know that the boiling rocks boil at same teperature each time?

By measuring the temperature of the rocks, and recording what temperature they are at when they start boiling. Also, through the years of chemistry, we've determined that each substance has properties that never change, such as boiling point, and melting point. Ice for instance melts into water above 32 F, or 0 C and boils at 212 F or 100 C. Below this range, water is a solid, (ice) and under normal conditions water will not heat above this range. The boiling point is the point at which as much energy is being put into it, the same amount will be released through boiling.
The same can be said for the minerals that make up rocks, (except that the melting and boiling points on rocks is much hotter)
Some conditions can change the boiling point of a substance. High pressure means a higher temperature will be needed to cause boiling (this is how a pressure cooker works) Low pressure will need a lower temperature to reach boiling.

If the steam is superheated, then yes - it can be used to boil water. If the steam is at the saturation point however, the most you could achieve would be to heat the liquid water to the boiling point while condensing some of the steam.
