I guess that by remote god you mean a god like the one in the new testament who has greatet the world and kind of lean back to see it unfold, opposit to the one in the old testament who directly interfeer with the people of earth.
Even if Eru was this remote god, he could still be pressent with out interfeering. The thing that makes me think that he is not in one place is that I see him as not beeing carnatet.
or do you mean that he has made Arda and has left it to the valar as their playground. A playground where he does not know what is happening, unless Manwë asks for his asistance?
