Short and simple: yes.
Though the question is how relevant this is. Likely SSH will have moved to something more secure years before any quantum computer with sufficient computing power will become available.
Because that's the thing these scare-stories don't tell you: While the progress in quantum computing is moving very slowly, in recent years the progress in post quantum cryptography has been very fast.
