Not quite.
MoveTo is used exclusively for paths. Paths can be stroked, yes. But a closed path can be filled (with a solid color, pattern, or gradient) or used as a clipping region.
MoveTo changes the 'current location' for a path, but doesn't actually create a path element. It is akin to picking up your pencil and moving it to another part of the paper. That's not a particularly good example... pencils always 'stroke', where paths can do several different things.
Here's some content that creates a 20 x 10 rectangular path:
10 10 m
10 20 l
30 20 l
30 10 l
10 10 l
By itself, it's invisible... until you stroke and/or fill it.
PS: you could create the same path with the 're'ctangle operator instead:
10 10 20 10 re
(that's 'x y width height')
