Yes. I have a router connected to the cable modem. No computer is
connected directly, except at installation time. It might not even be
needed then, depending on the cable company. Mine never needed a direct
connection, although it did require a phone call for setup, where a direct
connection could have been self-authorizing.

Peter points to the other half of this engagement. Wireless might not
cover all of your living space.

I would think "apartment" refers to a compact living space, and I would say
the answer is yes, that coverage will be good.

I have good wireless coverage throughout my home and some outside areas.
