Is Poker Stars using Oculus avatars on Steam? If so, how?

I really like how Oculus Avatars look, and I would like to use them on my game. I'm using Unreal 4 to develop a game for Oculus Rift primarily, but I would like to release it for SteamVR eventually.

If I use the Avatar SDK now, is there any way of letting Steam VR users use it as well?

Yes i do use the oculus avatars in my game on steam. 
I use a custom method that was developed before crossplat was supported but now there's an official way

You'l notice there are limitations though. In the case of PokerStarsVR i had to create a few dozen dummy accounts, customize the avatars, then feed those in as presets for use on other platforms since you cannot customize your avatar unless you have oculus home
