Is this security through obscurity? Yes. Does it work? In combination with good practices, yes. The same way that Linux and other *nix based OSes are smaller targets and in turn, not as inviting. There are a LOT of targets out there on port 22, and if you know how to change the port sshd listens to, you probably know how to make sshd more secure as well.
