I'm not sure what you're asking.

As you asking - is it possible to stop a user directly connecting to
the remote POP server?

That, and the configuration of your local mail server, is nothing to
do with fetchmail.  To achieve that you'll need to configure your
firewall to only allow the host running fetchmail access to the POP
server.
