As I am thinking of purchasing a laptop with WiFi, I would like to know if it is possible to get a Wireless Access point that can interface with the satellite modems via USB?

Highly unlikely. It is possible to purchase ADSL capable routers which have a USB socket to put a USB ADSL modem into but it has to explicitly support the device. 99% of these USB devices require the firmware to be loaded in at startup and chances are that this satellite modem requires the same thing. Basically, you're better off asking if the broadband company can supply you with an ethernet version.

One possible solution which may prove too much of a hack is that you can buy USB extenders which work over ethernet. They're pretty expensive however and compatibility isn't guaranteed. You also have to rig it so that only one PC at a time will ever access the modem.
