SWW, thanks for the clarification on routers vs switches
Your setup should work IF your AP can be a DHCP server AND if it will allocate private network addresses.

Beware that your setup is wide open to port scanners etc.

One of the advantages of a router/switch it that most of them incorporate a firewall.
