Yes, if I understand you correctly then it already works with that setup.

So you can have the ESP32s over ethernet and it still works as long as it's on the same network as TOMMY (Home Assistant Add-on or Docker). Only thing to keep in mind is that the ESP32s need to have Wi-Fi inbuilt with antenna (either PCB or external).

... and it is possible to configure a non existing SSID which would then be created as a separate mesh network (no access point), correct?

You actually won't need to configure a SSID at all. The peer-to-peer communication is handled by the devices internally without any manual setup.
