Hi Yes and No :/
It all depends on the priviledges setup within the MySQL Server. More information is in the manual at : http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/r/Privileges.html If you have a shell account and appropriate MySQL login then you can maintain your database through shell and use the mysql client installed on that machine. You might also want to look at using the mysql client with the --host option to specify a remote host instead of localhost if your remote host allows login from anywhere. BTW: phpMyAdmin does work really well if you're allowed to install it.
