One might suppose that USB-connected drives could also be classed as remote, since they're not guaranteed to be accessible at boot-time. But in the absence of a real definition, it's all speculative. :-)
Remote doesn't have anything to do with availability at boot, IMHO anyway. It means 'connected over the/a network' 'connected to another host'.
