There is no difference here from reaching the machine for other purposes.
I guess you have to have IP forwarding enabled on the other side. You 
connect to port 22 on the NAT router and the router forwards this to port 
22 of the remote desktop machine. Or the other side makes the connection 
first (assuming *your* IP is routable), that is how "invites" on Windows 
RD work. Then you don't need IP forwarding.
