If the hosts are on physically separate Internet connections then yes,
you'll need a no-ip hostname for each of them and you may still need to
establish port mappings for each device if they're each behind a separate
firewall/router. If they are on the same connection behind one NATting
router/firewall, you will need to configure port forwarding for each machine
and map a public port for each device. In that case, one no-ip hostname will
suffice.

(For example, my home network has two machines with VNC on - I might have my
router configured to forward connections from port 4000 to port 5900 on
machine 1, and public port 5000 to port 5900 on machine 2. Then I just
connect to 'myhostname.tld:5000' in the VNC viewer connection box to
establish a connection - provided port forwarding is operational on the
network then it 'just works' :)
