    Yep, the NAT router/firewall works for both Ethernet and wireless. Note though that you really ought to be worrying about not running software and services you don't need, not running software from untrusted sources, and keeping your software up-to-date, rather than firewalls. Even without a firewall, your iMac is already quite hardy to network attacks and doesn't need a Time Capsule unless you actually want a backup and/or wireless device.
