I installed the Steam client by running (reference ):
$ sudo dnf install -y fedora-workstation-repositories
$ sudo dnf install -y steam --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-steam
The sudo dnf repolist
command doesn’t display the added repo:
repo id repo name
fedora Fedora 32 - x86_64
fedora-cisco-openh264 Fedora 32 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64
fedora-modular Fedora Modular 32 - x86_64
rpmfusion-free RPM Fusion for Fedora 32 - Free
rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 32 - Free - Updates
updates Fedora 32 - x86_64 - Updates
updates-modular Fedora Modular 32 - x86_64 - Updates
I never wanted to add the non-free repository permanently, only temporarily in order to install Steam. Does this confirm that no rpmfusion-nonfree
repo is used on my system?

rpmfusion-nonfree is not used on that system.

rpmfusion-nonfree is not used on that system.
So it seems. I’d like to know why the repo hasn’t been added and what the commands specifically do.

Enabling the RPM Fusion repositories using command-line utilities
Although, you don’t really need fedora-workstation-repositories
to install steam
nowadays as it is provided by the rpmfusion-nonfree
repository.

The command you typed doesn’t enable that repo permanently, but only for that transaction. You can use dnf config-manager
to permanently enable/disable repositories.

dnf docs more specifically dnf command reference are good for reference for this sort of thing.
