Is it possible to use a GUI (gnome) that is installed on another machine to display the contents of a server, kind of like a remote connection but the server itself does not have a desktop manager installed?

If you want to run a gnome-based app, the machine that executes the code must have the dependency libs (libgnome, libgtk, etc). If you are using yum, apt or similar, install the application and pray for a minimal dependency hell.
If you want to use a Gnome on a client to show server’s contents, you are out of luck. The best effort you can do is use a remote file sharing (sftp, nfs, etc).
What I recommend from my own experience is install the software on server and use a remote connection, like remote X11, VLC or NoMachine.
