No, only the window borders will look the same.

If you run an application remotely, the entire window is exported to
your machine including the theme used on the remote machine. If you want
your apps on machine 1 to look the same as those on machine 2, you need
to either:
1) Install the same themes on both computers.
2) or export your themes _and_ ~/.gtkrc on machine 2 via some kind of
network file system.
At least, this is how believe it works.
