I was wondering if it is possible to access a peripheral that is not directly connected to the computer. Like using the Rednet API or the Modem API?

Stick a wired modem on the peripheral block, stick a wired modem on the computer. Connect them using network cable then right click the modem on the peripheral to "connect" it.
When wrapping the peripheral, instead of entering the "side", enter the name the modem told you to use when you "connected" it.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that it's a lot harder - you can't "connect" wireless modems to peripherals like you can with wired ones, so you've instead got to attach them to a "go-between" computer, then manually send commands/results backwards and forwards.
