If you use remote collections, afaik, yes, you can do this kind of things with digikam, just save your collection and its database in a shared directory.
But I'm not sure, I never tried these kind of things, just worked with local collections. In particular, I don't know how will digikam manage simultaneous, concurrent modifications to your collections from two different computers.

Anyway, you can do something similar also using ResourceSpace, that works on the server, requiring only a web browser on the client side to work:
