A hub (or more likely, you'd be installing a switch) doesn't do routing,
so the Squeezebox would be still be on the same subnet, just as if you'd
plugged it into the router itself. (If the router has multiple ethernet
ports, that in itself is a switch.)  Whether the server has a static IP
address or one assigned via DHCP also makes no difference.

What determines whether or not any of the PCs or devices on the LAN
behind the router are visible to the public Internet is the
configuration of your router.  Most home routers act as simple
firewalls by permitting all outgoing connections, but denying any
incoming connections.  You generally have to go out of your way to open
them up for incoming traffic.
