An integer sent from one machine to another will preserve its value regardless of the endianness of either machine. If you wish to attach additional semantic meaning to that integer by using it to encode an ipv4 address then you need to take the appropriate steps to translate the local value to and from network byte order, the same as you would for an int32 that was not part of a protobuf.
