SSHD stands for SSH Daemon, and means a program designed to accept SSH
connections. This is in contrast to an SSH client which is designed to
generate SSH connections. The word "daemon" means a mythological
creature which does good things, quietly, and is in common usage in the
UNIX world to mean a server process that runs in the background.

No. See the following diagram:
+-+ +-+ +-+ +-+
|A|-->|B|========>|C|-->|D|
+-+ +-+ +-+ +-+
A is the VNC client, B is one of the SSH endpoints, C is the other
endpoint, D is the VNC server. A and B may be on the same machine as
each other, as may C and D. When the SSH tunnel is set up correctly,
connections to B are automatically relayed through the encrypted tunnel
and to D. Traffic in the opposite direction is also tunnelled. Either
B or C may be the SSH server - it's just a case of which way around the
tunnel is made.
There is an SSH section in the FAQ, too.
I would suggest talking to your network admin. If you can't make him
understand what SSH is and why it's a good thing, talk to his manager
about getting a new network admin. Of course, if he has good, logical
reasons why he doesn't want SSH going, that's up to him and his security
policy and there won't be a great deal you can do about it. Remember to
point out any work-related things you need to do using VNC.
