I would like to be able to open up a vim instance from
anywhere with my vim settings.

One way I can think to do this is by editing my .vimrc
file to load my colors, plugings, autoloads etc. and
then putting all those files on the internet so that I
can source it from anywhere.

However, is there a way to do this without changing my
.vimrc?  Could I just put my .vim folder and my .vimrc
on the internet and run something like: "source
http:/path/to.vimrc | source http:/path/to/.vim"?

No, with literally this syntax, this is currently impossible,
The autocommands needed for that are not implemented.

However, you can put it's longer equival;ent 2-liner into local vimrc:
(1) line to http-get the URL to local file or to the temp
    buffer using either netrw, or using ':!wget -O file URL'
(2) the line to source the local copy

However, don't you think downloading vimrc at
every vim start is going to be inconvenient delay ?
