This is because with steam goods train the pwg car was necessary, isn't it? That means whe should add a pwg in every goods train pulled by a steam loco?

Interesting question - had to check a book to answer it. It's prototypical to include a Pwg in Era I & II and even in Era III (up to the '60s) - as you say for steam trains. Austrian ÖBB also had cab tenders - AFAIR they modified the "Wannentender" of some BR 52 locos with a cab.
