It works on VAC enabled servers. So if you cheat in any game on a VAC server, any other game that uses VAC will carry that ban. It works however, only on VAC servers, so you can still play on servers without VAC.
Its not an account ban either, you can still play any game (singleplayer/multiplayer) provided you do not play on any VAC enabled server.

I could imagine them stealing accounts first and then cheating with them until they get banned.

And that is exactly what happens. Lots of the stolen accounts from steam-scams (those that BBloke regularly posts about) end up either being sold or used in the development of cheats.
