Currently there is no way to use the Schema API to describe tables which are located in external databases. This is prevented by the usage of db_* wrapper functions in drupal_(un)install_schema and drupal_write_record. I believe that using schema for other databases than the default one could make sense. It would, for example, simplify the creation of entity controllers which handle external data. (see attached example controller).
In Drupal 8, Schema should be usable for all tables regardless the role of the database. I've created a stub patch against 7.x-dev therefore I've set the version to 7.x-dev. Please change to 8.x-dev if more appropriate.
