Go out and do it again and watch the bars move in the direction they would if you were counter steering. All you are doing by pushing on the pegs and leaning off is making the bike counter steer without putting any input on the bars yourself if that makes sense?
Dont get me wrong leaning off and pushing on the pegs will do something to change the direction of the bike but it will be very very minimum and isnt exactly steering the bike as such and would never ever get you round a corner without counter steering the bike.
