No, this sign specifically refers to a device like a TV remote control. For 'remote work' or a 'remote location,' you would use signs related to 'distance' or 'far away,' or simply sign 'work from home.'
You should use your dominant hand for this sign, just as you would naturally hold a remote control with your dominant hand in real life.
Typically, you bend your thumb down twice. In ASL, nouns often have a double movement, which helps distinguish the object (the remote) from the verb (the action of pressing a button).
