I want to pre Download a game, my friend told me he will give me a key soon and I want to be able to play with him AAs soon as he give me the key, is that possible?
That's not what this is for and no you can't preload a game without owning it first and you can't preload a depot because it's encrypted and steam won't be able to see it. You have to preload through the steam client which you can do if you have a key and preload is an option for that specific game.
Also if you have a fast Internet connection it's usually better to just wait for release and download the game because it's significantly faster than the decryption process which can take quite a while especially on lower end CPUs.
