Yes that sounds about right. Not sure if you are asking how or not so 
below is the steps.

edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

In the sshd_config file you will see the below add the port 443 bit.

# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
Port 22
Port 443

Then restart the ssh daemon by doing /etc/init.d/sshd restart

Then do a quick test by typing ssh -p 443 user at hostname

 From memory thats all I had to change to be able to ssh to my home 
system from Humbug.

with that.
