Essentially, that's correct, but assuming the emacs daemon is running at
work, you need to do

  local$ ssh username@work.com
  work$ emacsclient -t

You can also setup the emacs at work and at home to be able to connect
directly without firing up a new ssh shell, but that's a bit more
complicated.

|      Specify a "server file" for connecting to an Emacs server via TCP.
| 
|      An Emacs server usually uses an operating system feature called a
|      "local socket" to listen for connections.  Some operating systems,
|      such as Microsoft Windows, do not support local sockets; in that
|      case, Emacs uses TCP instead.  When you start the Emacs server,
|      Emacs creates a server file containing some TCP information that
|      `emacsclient' needs for making the connection.  By default, the
|      server file is in `~/.emacs.d/server/'.  On Microsoft Windows, if
|      `emacsclient' does not find the server file there, it looks in the
|      `.emacs.d/server/' subdirectory of the directory pointed to by the
|      `APPDATA' environment variable.  You can tell `emacsclient' to use
|      a specific server file with the `-f' or `--server-file' option, or
|      by setting the `EMACS_SERVER_FILE' environment variable.
| 
|      Even if local sockets are available, you can tell Emacs to use TCP
|      by setting the variable `server-use-tcp' to `t'.  One advantage of
|      TCP is that the server can accept connections from remote machines.
|      For this to work, you must (i) set the variable `server-host' to
|      the hostname or IP address of the machine on which the Emacs server
|      runs, and (ii) provide `emacsclient' with the server file.  (One
|      convenient way to do the latter is to put the server file on a
|      networked file system such as NFS.)
| 
|      When the Emacs server is using TCP, the variable `server-port'
|      determines the port number to listen on; the default value, `nil',
|      means to choose a random port when the server starts.
