Is it possible for two threads or applications running simultaneously to
update the same performance counters?

From the documentation for System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter:

"Thread Safety: This type is safe for multithreaded operations."

So yes, you should be safe updating the same performance counter from
several threads using the PerformanceCounter class.
