Yes, by default the Move tool is in auto-select mode, it selects the topmost layer that is opaque where you click. This may be a bit confusing at the beginning, but you will find this behaviour extremely practical the day you deal with several layers (for instance, trying to find the best arrangement of several text layers). In the mean time you can depress the Control key to make it move the active layer.
