Yes, the router helps as it will block 'unsollicited' requests from outside. There is also the fact that you will only share files with computers that are on the same workgroup, and you can/should password protect the shared folders.
That's assuming you have secured the wireless part of the network of course.
I hope I got this correct. It's been a while since I set this up myself. If I'm not correct, I'm sure someone will along to rectify me.
