You can use the phrase "dark side of the Moon" - but not as a synonym for "far side of the Moon". The Moon has days and nights like the Earth does, except that lunar days are 28 days long.
The far side of the Moon - the part never seen from Earth - also gets days and nights just like the side we see.

Which side is the so called dark side of the moon?
The dark side of the moon refers to the side of the moon that is not visible from Earth due to synchronous rotation, not because it is always dark. Both sides of the moon receive sunlight, but we only see one side from Earth.
What is the difference between the waning and waxing phases of the moon?
In the northern hemisphere, if the left side of the Moon is dark then the light part is growing, and the Moon is referred to as waxing (moving toward a full moon). If the right side of the Moon is dark then the light part is shrinking, and the Moon is referred to as waning (moving toward a new moon). Assuming that the viewer is in the northern hemisphere, the right portion of the Moon is the part that is always growing (i.e., if the right side is dark, the Moon is growing darker; if the right side is lit, the Moon is growing lighter). In the southern hemisphere the Moon is observed from a perspective inverted to that of the northern hemisphere, so the opposite sides appear to grow (wax) and shrink (wane).

What is the ''dark side of the moon''?
The side in which the moon has least light. ------------------- I believe the phrase typically refers to the far side of the moon, as the "dark side" is not one fixed location. As it moves, the plane of light moves across it just like on earth. The moon is in a state of synchronous rotation with the earth, with both one revolution and one rotation taking the same amount of time; 1 month. As such, the same side of the moon is always facing earth. The side that faces away is the far side, often referred to incorrectly as the dark side.
What is the backside of the moon sometimes called?
The Dark Side of the Moon. That is also the title of a good Pink Floyd album. Unfortunately it is a misleading phrase, because that side of the Moon is not in permanent darkness. The best term to use is "far side of the Moon". The side that faces Earth is called the "near side".

If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
