Major Tom,
Yes, all original Lugers have the stepped chamber, as this was considered an advanced design feature (aids in sealing the case to the chamber walls).
Remakes, including the Interarms models from the 1970s and the stainless steel knock-offs do not.
I don't know about the new .45 recreations, but I would suspect that they do also.
Hope this helps.
Sieger
