It seems so (usually) but not qute. The word "более" is more literary but in some expressions can be replaced with "больше": "более всего́" / "больше всего" (most of all), "(не) более чем/(не) больше чем" - (not) more than

In these expressions "больше" is not used" "тем более" - all the more, "более того" - what is more; moreover.

One can also use both wordds in the meaning of "(no) longer", "более" would sound more stilted or poetic - "я бо́льше/бо́лее не хочу́ её ви́деть" - I no longer want to see her.
