Yes, you need a CD Key to validate the game. You can find the CD Key on the right menu in the Steam Details view of the game.
Steam provides you with the cd key for games you have just bought from it - most notably for those that are neither created by valve nor published exclusively on steam. This is in case you ever want to register it on a secondary digital distribution platform (This is sometimes required for the game to launch as in the case of Games for Windows Live). You may never need the key, but it's useful to have for reference. It's the proof that you have bought a unique copy of the game. No need to worry though, Steam will keep the information for you.
Edit - I might add that you can still access your CD Key for those games that ARE developed by Valve or published on exclusively on Steam - it just doesn't pop up every time to launch the game.

Assuming you are on the Steam desktop client: Go to Library, then look at the bottom left corner for: "+ Add a Game..." From there go to "Activate a Product on Steam" and follow the instructions.
