> integrated Steam Controller puck
This is part of the controller, not the Machine. Unless you mean software integration, then it's on SteamOS and the Steam client, both of which can run on custom hardware.

"Steam Controller's wireless adapter is built right into Steam Machine for direct pairing. "
It has dedicated hardware for pairing with Steam Controllers without needing a puck adapter plugged into a USB port.
I promptly admit I may have misunderstood something though.
The puck comes with the controller. You connect a cable to it. Do you mean there's a whole puck inside the machine?
Or is "puck" now shorthand for a wireless controller adaptor? What about the actual physical puck, with the cable and the magnets?
The Steam Machine has the 2.4GHz dongle part as well as a Bluetooth adapter.
