It runs remotely in version 14.04 but not in version 18.04.
All graphics applications (gnome-todo, firefox etc) are lunched remotely via SSH.
However, when I run gnome-terminal remotely via SSH, it run in non-remote native gnome-desktop.

As steeldriver said in a comment above, new gnome-terminal instance behaves like some insipid Windows or Mac program; it only sends a message to the existing, running gnome-terminal to create a new window.
To run gnome-terminal on a new client PC, use the --disable-factory or --app-id option.
