Fiction labelled as steam punk is generally characterized by it containing some manner of fantastic technology powered by steam. That sort of thing. A setting doesn't necessarily have to contain a steam engine for me think of it as steam punk, though.
Think cyborgs with large brass pistons for arms, chunky archaic-looking, yet potent technology, and that sort of thing.
Also gothic architecture, and clockwork.
That's my definition, anyhow.
It's not uncommon in anime.
