Does the same go for Peltier plates and thermocouples?

Yes, thermocouples can work as heat pumps, and Peltier elements can work as thermocouples.
There are actually flow meters that make use of this. They heat the thermocouple using itself, then switch back to using it as a thermocouple and measure the rate of heat dissipation and correlate that to flow rate.
