As far as I know you can think of Steam as a "platform", like pc/ps3/ps4.
So, if there are players who can bounce between ps4 and pc with one account, you should be able to do the same with your current account.
Keep in mind that you will have to buy a new version of FFXIV:ARR and you want to make sure that this version matches up with your CE - so PC FFXIV:ARR + PC HW CE.
Either way, you should be able to use your existing account since your current account is tied to Mog Station and the SE Account system.
If I am wrong, I apologize.
