Hypothetically, if one were to submit a photo in which the subject (a person) was seen to be peeking around/through something in order to look at something that cannot be seen in the frame, would that be acceptable?

no this technique is when the camera is "playing peek-a-boo" the angle of view is looking past something in the foreground (above, below to a side or through) it does not have anything to so with the subject "peeking"
