Not necessarily.
Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.
No, a full moon occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing Earth, which gives it its full appearance. If the sun is behind and a little above Earth, the moon would not be in the position for a full moon.

When the moon is full, it is on exactly the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. A map of this would have the sun on the right side of a piece of paper, then Earth to its left followed by the moon to the left of the Earth.When Venus is full in the sky, it is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. A drawing of this would have Venus all the way to the left, followed by the sun, then the Earth in a straight line (or vice versa), as long as they are directly on either side of the sun.

No, the phase of the moon is not determined by the Earth's distance to the sun. A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, which allows sunlight to fully illuminate the side of the moon facing Earth.

When the earth is between the moon and the sun, a full moon occurs. In the less common instance when the Earth is between the moon and the sun and all three are in line, a lunar eclipse occurs.
