This is only true for the REST endpoint. Not for the other endpoints. You can access the IOrganizationService if you use .NET as basis or you could access the web services via SOAP.

CRM 2011 exposes webservices through oData and SOAP endpoints. If you are using CRM 2011 Online you can hit these endpoints over the internet. If hosting CRM yourself, you can set it up for IFD (Internet Facing Deploy). I would suggest taking a look at the CRM 2011 SDK for oData and SOAP examples.
