Anyone trying to connect to a specific device still has to go through your router. How you configure your router is still up to you. My router allows me to block all incoming connections, all connections (in or out), or allow specific ports to access individual devices.
Individual devices each have their own firewall. Even within my private network I can prevent some machines from accessing data from another.
