Yes, Push up workout your shoulders tricepts bicepts and you're entire core, Including your pects. Benchpress is mainly tricepts and chest. Doing pushups will improve your benchpress but possibly not in the way you'd like. You may notice that your stamina has increased( you can do more reps) but it may lower your max. Try doing negatives to improve your max, If you can benchpress 200 put 215 on the bar and have a strong spotter help you. Slowing let down the weight to your chest on your own, then have the spotter help you lift it off. this is difficult and scary but you will see serious results
