Automated port scanners will sweep your system in a couple of seconds.
Yes, automated scanners can scan all the ports on a system. That also functions as a great indicator that the connecting IPs are doing something undesirable.
Moving the port is also a good way to avoid a lot of other scanners that are simply looking for specific ports.
If nothing else, moving the port will likely reduce the number of connections, which in itself likely reduces noise in logs, which helps improve the signal to noise ratio of said logs.
