Hello,  
I have a nas on my network and i would like to edit a csv file on the nas.  
Is there a similar node or combination of nodes which could do the "append to file" action, but on a network level? The smb node works quite well as a connection but it cant edit just create/delete/move/list.

No, I don't believe so. And they would be complex for no added benefit.

It is generally better to integrate SMB and similar file shares into your server's filing system.

So if i mount the smb to the server, my raspberry pi per se, the file node could do its trick that way?

Yes, you integrate SMB via Samba which is already included in a lot of Linux versions since it is such a common requirement. There are, of course, other FS integrations you can do such as NFS and even using SFTP, FTPS or SCP.
