No, she was just associated with Selene the real moon goddess. It is said that she drove the moon chariot when it was a crescent moon. Another moon goddess was Hecate. Artemis, Selene, and Hecate made the Triple Goddesses of the moon. Artemis was the crescent moon, Hecate was the new moon and the dark side of the moon, and Selene was everything else.

Artemis, because Apollo is a god of day light, is also considered a goddess then of night light - this being the moon, and Apollo the sun, for there was already a pair of Titan siblings of the sun (Helios) and moon (Selene) the twins of Zeus the Olympian king of gods, replaced them. So Apollo is mistaken for Helios in myth, and Artemis with Selene.

She is known as the goddess of the moon, so evidently, the moon would represent her.

Because her mother Leto had twins, Artemis and Apollo. Apollo is the god of the sun while Artemis is the goddess of the moon, the exact opposite.
