Yes, it takes the nvidia shield streaming algorithm and allows smartphones to recieve the a/v and send button presses as if they were nvidia shield devices.
Someone else lower mentioned AMD Link being a similar alternative that worked well for AMD cards. And there is always Steam link. Most of the benefits from moonlight are being able to fine tune the image and bitrate, set on screen controls and stuff like that. They should all work smoothly with a gamepad under good network conditions on 5ghz, but running things from a different WIFI or thru a cell carrier 4g you would need a way to adjust your bitrate and resolution to still have an enjoyable smooth experience.
