Thats how i always interpreted it aswell. He was probably going to pull a fast one on Sekto and run away with the cash after presenting his own head or something

Yes. It's clear from the early drafts at least that the number for the Steef head is intended to match the cost of the surgery:
:
STRANGER
Scrab.
SEKTO
$1,500
STRANGER pauses to think over what he is going to say next.
STRANGER
Steef.
SEKTO
Steefs are rare and hard to find. Harder still to kill. You got a Steef mount?
STRANGER
(snears slightly)
Might be able ta find one... for $20,000 (actual value TBD, close to surgery amount).
SEKTO
(very serious)
You find me a good Steef head... you'll get your $20,000!
STRANGER squints his eyes.
STRANGER
Well If I can get one... How do I find you?
Etc.
Note the 'snears slightly'.
