If an account that has a phone number registered to it receives a VAC or Game ban, all other accounts that use the same phone number will also receive a ban. If the other accounts do not own the game they will still receive the ban and be unable to purchase the title on that account. The phone number on an account that receives a ban will be suspended for three months and cannot be applied to another account during that time. The cooldown duration for applying a phone number after a ban will increase each time a cooldown is applied.

This feature is not enabled for all games and will be used at the discretion of the developer.

Finally Valve say officially: Hey no perm-bans is actually no parm-bans cause we kinda want you to re-buy at some point. Otherwise they would perm ban phone number also

I'm assuming it only bans the other accounts at the same time the account caught cheating is banned.

"The phone number on an account that receives a ban will be suspended for three months and cannot be applied to another account during that time."

If they did ban accounts simply due to you adding a number that has been used on a VAC banned account, a 3 month cool down seems pointless.

To clarify

CS:GO VAC Bans and CS:GO Game Bans will be applied to all accounts that shared the same phone number at the time of the infraction.

Not at the time of the ban.

Could be too late now for everyone who got already detected but not banned yet

Exactly. Steam is just a money making scam run by Valve tbh. They ban accounts and tell people to rebuy the game they were banned on, on a new account. They basically just do whatever gets them the most money.
