I want to use multiple steam account at the same time, I ran steam with the following command

env HOME=/mydir flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

but strangely, steam still installed inside /home/me/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/ instead of /mydir/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/

Flatpak doesn't work this way and doesn't support app profiles (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1170).

You should either use different users or use the Steam UI to logout from one account and login to another.
