ATF IV using as Power steering fluid?

Sure can. It's the same stuff.
Power steering fluid is just lightweight oil. That systems isn't particularly picky about the oil used, as long as it's light, unlike transmissions.

There are exclusions ,,, like Honda insists on using Honda Steering fluid only.
If I am not mistaken, for RX you can use Dexron for steering pump. Toyota type IV can be safely used too. Although I prefer and use the synthetic mobile 1 Atf.

It is spec'd for Dextron, according to the owner's manual.
However, many people on this forum are using T-IV or ATF compatible with T-IV such as Mobil 1 ATF.
It is completely safe to use T-IV in the power steering system.

Yup, I use the Mobil-1 in mine. Works very well.

I can't find where I saw it, I think it was something to do with warranty claims on RX330's that were running T-IV, not sure how they would know the difference.
Mobil 1 specs for Dextron, so is basicly is Dextron.

For comparison sakes, T-IV is also basically Dextron if you want to go with the core components, since T-IV is just Dextron III plus friction modifiers.
