I suppose in theory the hub "owner" could talk to all the other pc's and they could talk to the hub "owner", but they wouldn't be able to talk to each other so you couldn't really use it as a proper network.

Exactly.

Network ports don't just have to be ethernet, but it is commonly used because it has good operation over longer distances. I don't know what length of cable you could use for a firewire network but I suspect it would not be anything like as good as ethernet.
