Nope I think you're pretty much right on track with Steve and John's relationship or lack thereof.
I was also just thinking before about Steve's Mum and how we need to know more about her. That moment in 1.13 where he and Danny are in the car and Steve mentions how the day is mother died made him who he is really gets me.
There is a random mention in 1.13 though (I just rewatched most of the ep) of John reading Sherlock Holmes stories with Mary - which I imagine was nicely plot convenient tbh - but that does make me think there might be another dimension to him. Not sure.
As much as this show is on some level about Steve hunting down Wo Fat for what he's done to his family, I still want more Steve back-story. From his family life, to his time at the Naval Academy ... but then he is my favourite and I'm hardly objective. ;)
