Not exactly. Actually it's on the opposite side of the Earth relative to the Sun. So the 3 are always on one line but it has nothing to do with the position of the Moon. (Maybe you thought it was at the L2 of Earth-Moon system?)

Oof, I knew that. JWST is at the earth-sun L2, that fact just didn’t enter my mind trying to figure out how far away it was.
