2-way bus, yes, but symmetrical, no. The USB flash card and the Serial<->USB adaptor are both USB peripheral devices, so they can't talk to each other directly - they both expect to be connected to a USB host port, as found on a laptop for instance. The host port masters the bus, something the peripherals can't do.
