nah, its not like that.

your "upi address", like "abc@sbi" is tied to that phone/sim card/bank.

if you change your phone or use a different app, that "handle" is reserved and not portable.

if you change your phone or lost it, just get a duplicate sim card, install a UPI app and get a new address.

The handle is tied not to the device but to the mobile number. If you change your device you reregister on the new device and can continue to use the same handles.
