Yup, in my experience moving the SSH server to any port other that 22 drops to zero the number of failed login attempts to VPSs last time I've checked.
CriminialIP, PaloAlto, Shodan, Stretchoid, Techties, Censy, Onyphe, VisionHeight, Internet-measurement, Infrawatch, BinaryEdge, and a bunch of Alibaba Cloud/Digital Ocean/VPN/Tor exit IPs all know which port your SSH server is on.
