Generally yes. A 'when accessed' ability doesn't need the card to be active or rezzed, so ambushes can fire from HQ and remote servers. From R&D the Runner doesn't show the card, so reportedly only cards that tell the Runner to reveal it (like Snare!) can fire there. Snare! says to ignore its effect in Archives, and other cards depend on their own wording.
