Well, that's unlikely. The odds of another person on the internet getting that same IP, launching that same game, and joining that same server after some other person did something to get IP banned? It's not an issue. Future users of that IP address are unlikely to be gamers at all, let alone Steam users.
Now, if the IP ban length was longer than, say, a month, and you auto-banned Steam accounts that attempt to connect from a banned IP? Then you might have a problem on rare occasions.
