It sort of is - again, you're discussing theoretical technology based on something that is currently commonly considered imaginary. The question of "is it valid, or not?" depends on which piece of fiction one looks at. For some, it is; for others, it isn't.

Lets see... projects a battering ram of telekinetic force... This means that the projector projects the force, not some sort of mentalic wave that moves to the ship which projects the force. Force is most certainly stopped by the shields, as evidenced by most other weapons.
At worst, that just means he needs to change the description for his mod. However, it doesn't say where the battering ram starts. Unless shields hug the hull perfectly, there's no particular reason why the force can't form inside the target's shields to batter at the hull.
