Unless you've added custom library folders, this is where the files live:
$HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/
Go to ./var in home and backup the entire "com.valvesoftware.Steam" folder if you plan to use Flatpak again, or navigate to data/Steam/steamapps and copy just the stuff there. For native games you might have to look inside .config and .local in "com.valvesoftware.Steam", that's where games usually store their config files and saves.
Thanks, that really helps. Copying everything sounds like the quickest and simplest way but it's good to know that everything is easily accessible.
