"layer" is not relevant here. The "layer" tag is only used to indicate the relative vertical position of the object with respect to other objects. So steps would only have a layer tag if they are crossing another way, but not connecting to it.
To indicate the up or down direction of steps, you can use the tag incline=up|down. There is no default direction of steps, as far a I know. Your question may refer to the "level" tag. In that case your steps are connecting different floor levels of a building. I would not assign a "level" tag value to a stair that connects the first floor (level=1) with the second floor (level=2) of a building.
