First to your question. Chris Collinsworth actually noted that they have not told him yet because they don't want him too comfortable, but the Steelers staff loves this guy. It was a big amount of coverage for a guy that is "just" a guard. He also looked fine when he was in. The Steelers actually have a few OL problems, but DeCastro is not an area of concern.
Back to Luck...Andrew Luck looked awesome. 2 INTs looks bad, but one of the two INTs should have been a TD. The players around Luck are playing like rookies, and normally rookies time to get up to speed. The Steelers tossed a fair number of looks at Luck and the OL and they handled them all quite well. But far and away the most impressive part of the game was the last minute of the first half. Getting a QB rookie to drive a mediocre team to that FG against the Steelers in Pittsburgh was amazing.
I still believe the Colts are going to be a 5 to 7 win team this year, but I would not be shocked if they get 9 or 10 wins and a wildcard birth. If I was a "real" Colts fan I would have to be super excited.
