When you installed the SDK, it should have asked you which directory your Civ5 game is installed in. If you screwed this up (like I did) then you can partially fix it within the SDK's menus, but in my case I had to edit a registry value for one bit instead. (I could have just uninstalled and reinstalled, but that'd have been a waste.)

wait... install ? I hadn't installed it as a matter of fact there is no install or setup.exe ...

Within Steam, when you selected the SDK in the "Tools" menu of the Library, the first option was "Install Game". That should have begin the scripts that would set up all that was necessary to make the SDK work, including placing an icon on the desktop. Steam knows where your Civ5 copy is installed, so it shouldn't have had any problem with linking to the core assets, the only thing it asks about is where to place created mods, maps, and such.
