But when you get the server list, you ping all the servers. If you don't get a response, then what are the chances that it's going to show up? You may not need the port forwarding to tell the master server that your server exists, but you definitely need port forwarding to prove that it exists with a ping reply.

Forwarding is only needed for ports on which a program needs to directly accept incoming connections (i.e. servers), because of the way routers work. As far as the server listings go, the dedicated server is a client (outgoing connection) in the respect that it connects to the master server, and thus should not require any screwing around with forwarding. The only port that should need to be forwarded is the game port, 27015, which uses UDP (and TCP for rcon). Firewalls are another story though, since they are able to block outgoing connections. He could behind a third-party firewall, the Windows firewall, a firewall on the router, etc. Though it would be odd for a firewall to block that while at the same time allowing players to connect.
