Steam Workshop's designed to be a place for mods to go. It is basically a more regulated version of gamebanana that's integrated into Steam.
It is completely designed to be what you just asked.
(Also, what do you mean by free things? Everything's free on Steam Workshop. I'd assume you were confused by credge saying people bought into the hack, which will have been them being added to a private Workshop listing.)
Garry's Mod uses it so that if you connect to a server on a custom map / gamemode, it'll download that map from Steam Workshop if it's been correctly set up. This means maps are quicker to download, because Valve's large serverbase is sending the file rather than your own file server.
