A friend was showing me an API made with a COM Object and a SOAP interface. He showed me how it worked in php on windows but I have serious doubts if it is achievable on linux or any other non-windows OS. Thanks!

Depends on where the COM object is running. A Linux box can serve a COM object (ActiveX) to a windows client browser. A Linux box can make a SOAP call to a COM object running on a Windows box.
But if you want to run the COM object on Linux, it needs to at least be rebuilt for Linux, and probably into something more Linuxy (an .so). Probably any PHP COM support isn’t ported to the Linux version, but you can call into .so files through C bindings.
