Yes, if you have ssh/sshd configured to allow X.11 port forwarding from
the host running Wine, then the Windows app's display will appear on
your local machine.

I do that all the time with my RH Fedora boxes. If you can start, say a
web browser or the GIMP on the remote host and control the program from
your display and keyboard, then Windows apps under Wine can do the same.
