I haven't tried this, but take a look at:

https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/AdHoc
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc

I suppose it is feasible also to configure the Wi-Fi in "infrastructure
mode", where the other PC functions as an access point without
necessarily performing any routing. While most consumer "routers" act
both as an AP and a router, they are not the same thing.
