Unsure. From the way they word it on their website it doesn’t sound that way:
Why is it on Epic and not on Steam?
World of Goo 2 would not exist if Epic had not helped us fund the game! We were able to hire artists and engineers for multiple years to help us build the biggest game we’ve ever made. We’re grateful for this! You’ve likely seen similar arrangements with other games, and I imagine ours is comparable.
If you don’t use Epic, that’s ok. You can always get World of Goo 2 right here on this page, DRM-free, for Win / Mac / Linux. Just scroll up there. And if you have a Nintendo Switch, you can get it on the eShop directly on your device.
After your purchase on their site you get directed to Humble Bundle. I did not see it on my list of purchases, but I was able to download it using the link I received right after purchasing via my email.
Yeah no shade to the devs at all, seems like it’s worked out well, let them release a better product and they’ve even provided a non epic option which is great. I just know I’m much less likely to play if it’s not in my Steam library because it’s so convenient.

You could always add it as a non-steam game.
