networks are not a point to point connection so unless the router keep wifi and wired as to separated unbridged networks it will at all times be 100% transparent how the individual devices present on the network connects to it
As mentioned above, the answer is yes. That is how I use it. It will also work fine if both the ATV and a Mac are wired.
It is somewhat unfortunate that Apple has decided to name certain networking features with "Air" as I've run into many situations where people think it will only work if the devices are all on the same WiFi network. Recently, after installing a printer and connecting it to the network with an Ethernet cable, someone asked me, "Why did you do that? Now I won't be able to AirPrint to it."
Sigh.
