It depends.

The fact that your host does not allow remote MySQL access is good, but not necessarily enough to protect your data.

One common category of "hacks" in relation to PHP sites using a database is SQL injection. You can read more about that here:

Use of prepared statements is a good tip for preventing a large portion of SQL injection attacks.
