Retro-rockets are usually used to decelerate, not steer, a spacecraft. They operate like any rocket engine in the vacuum of space, by propelling gases in one direction to create an opposite and equal force on the craft. There is no need for air for those gases to 'push against' thanks to Newton's third law of motion.
