Does this mean I have to create a Steam account? I don't even know what steam is other than some game website with supposedly lots of games. I've seen people play some games on Youtube that are on there but I don't know much about Steam.

Can I just play through the game client I already have installed or do I have to go through Steam to play after the launch?

Hello there! :)

Quoting Mod Merchant: "[...] Don't worry about having to start again, as accounts will transfer over and you'll be able to use the client of your choosing. "

I do believe Steam will not be required to play Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, and so you will be able to run the game through the already released official client.

Think what's the benefits for making a new game that can only be run on Steam (or Raptr, or anything similar that you can think of)? Nothing. It only limits the availability of such game and potentially alienate players who don't want to play games on that specific platform.

It is weird and misleading that "The Runescape Team" worded it that way to make players think Chronicle requires Steam to play though.

They also mentioned Steam achievements and Steam Trading Cards. I don't think your quote from Mod Merchant mentioned anything about these being transferred over. What are these achievements and Trading Cards? Are they cosmetic only, or in any way obtainable later, particularly near or after the end of June?
