That's right.  There is nothing magical about port 22 or 80 or any
other well known port.  Well known is all they are.  Any service can be
run on any port.  Running web servers on port 80, for example, just
save the user from typing "http://www.Vex.Net:80/ to access a page.
The web browser assumes ":80" if you don't put it there.

It works the other way too.  Many people put ssh on port 80 for when
they are out somewhere that blocks everything but web ports.  The ssh
client assumes port 22 but you can use -p to use any port you want.
