I believe so. I know for a fact that it works on simple direct wired ethernet, as you say, because Michael Stone has tested it. There is a complete abstraction barrier between the presence service+collaboration, and the link-layer protocol. It makes no difference whether it is mesh, ad-hoc, wired, or wireless, as long as everyone is on the same subnet so that zeroconf/bonjour/avahi works.
