Yes. Steam can and will set off smoke detectors. Happened to me recently and have been charged 600 for fire a brigade false alarm call out fee. Steam came from bathroom as I didn't have exhaust fan on. So if you want to have the most expensive shower of your life let some steam wander out of bathroom and activate alarm.
