Did you try/test this? I see nothing particularly special about CUser when accessed remotely. Now it might not be there or might not be who you expected, depending on what users have "logged in" (which doesn't always involve logging into the desktop) in what order.

You could also go the "Users" key route which requires finding SIDs, etc. (yuck) or, look up things in "LMachine/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/hivelist/" and hope the "profile" name closely matches the username.
