No, that would be 0000. 0777 gives everyone access, local or remote.
No. permissions are permissions. Access is access. To make a real-world analogy, I may have permission to run around naked in Antarctica, but there's no way I can do it unless I can get there somehow. Or to shout "theater" in a crowded firehouse.
Access is not local only. Virtually every system has a SSH daemon running. Analogous, "access to the hardware" would simply be being in the presense of the other person.
David is correct. Access is access. Adding a SSH daemon does not change the matter. The original chmod 777 was to a shell script, not a port.
It is assumed that ordinary directory and account security is in place.
Simply being in the presence of a person does not immediately evoke "I do." There is a little protocol, handshaking, etc, necessary before you get to that point. Eh.
