No Valve games had official servers and automatic matchmaking prior to Team Fortress 2 (may have been added in updates) to my knowledge. It's possible to disable downloading custom files in multiplayer settings, but this only prevents you from connecting to a server running a custom map, not to a server running mods (the infamous "ERROR" sign is displayed if any custom textures are in use)! For instance in Day of Defeat: Source, "parachute" and "medic" mods are commonly used on active servers — essentially tweaking the gameplay based on the host's preferences. I'm not aware of a way to filter or even mark the servers in the browser, the only method I know is to always check if the server is running an official map. "Tags" can be used to inform players about mods, but I don't know if any are automatically added to a modded server.

Tags are only automatic for things built into the game; for example, Team Fortress 2 sets a tag depending on what game mode is being used.

@Powerlord: So all custom tags are optional? Also, could you as the server host intentionally use misleading tags (even if the server isn't running any mods)?

Yes, custom tags are optional and servers can use misleading tags. There are only a few tags (which vary by game) that the server will remove if a server operator tries to manually set them.
