No, the setup you described would work if the necessary ports were forwarded
through the firewall to your server.  Further, if you use the bridging mode
of openvpn, you could have access to any other resources behind your
firewall (printers, other servers, etc.) even with OpenVPN only installed on
the server.

However, if rather than a "road-warrior" setup you wanted to connect two
offices and allow full access to resources on both sides, you might want to
use OpenVPN on the LEAF routers at each end so that it is all transparent to
your users and there is no need for client software on each workstation,
server, etc.

It's not for everyone but it's a very useful capability that I use
frequently for clients who need a site-to-site VPN.
