Yes, X11 is fundamentally a network protocol, including any toolkits you would use with X11. When client and server are on the same machine, the client connects to X11 with a UNIX domain socket for performance reasons, but it's still a socket. The deep details of how the connection is made is something you don't need to concern yourself with.

Mostly.

Plain X11-over-TCP is considered a bit old-fashioned these days. Kind of like telnet, it's been cut off by default as it lacks security features and is difficult to control. People usually wrap X11 connections with VNC instead if they want to connect to an X11 terminal over the internet. This also gives a moderate improvement in efficiency.

This still isn't a change to how your program works as much as what it connects to. I think the VNC connection would have to be made first, elsewhere.
