Does the survey seperate linux and SteamOS?

It does if you drill down into the Linux information, hell it's literally in the article.

It does however report other handhelds as steam decks if they're running steam OS or another Linux distro for the purposes of base statistics which I think is why people keep saying this.

I don't personally own a steam deck but I do own a rog ally x with Bazzite and my gaming is labeled as steam deck as a result.

That's interesting, I'm surprised it would call it running steam OS Halo.

My desktop when I took the recent survey had the OS as bazzite in the survey results so I'm kind of shocked it wouldn't register bazzite on the rog ally also.

I just know what it told me when I got my results. If you look for the granular details then you'll see it labeled as Bazzite. But in the stats for windows vs steam OS it counts it as steam OS for me. I thought it was weird too.
