No, a second controller is still the main controller. A peripheral is an extra method for the system to read inputs, but will not control the system on its own. The Wii Remote can work the Wii. The balance board can not work the Wii.
RabangB mentioned it in hias post, but it was conviluted.
In console gaming, we use the word "peripheral" to differentiate between a controller that comes with the console, and a bonus controller that is only used for a few games.
While it implies that a second controller is a paripheral, it states that a paripheral is a bonus controller and it's purpose is for a few games. So, this would not be what a Wii Remote (that is not in the box with the system) would be.
