Yes, as the moon is orbiting the Earth, the moon rises and sets at different times each day or night. All of the waxing moon phases (i.e. waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous) rise during the daytime before sunset.

The sunrise on the earth refers to when the sun appears over the local horizon or disappears below it for sunset. Where you are affects affects what you see astronomically speaking. On the moon you would see the local sunrise and sunset for your location on the moon.
