If I get another phone of the same make and model (in this case a Moto g5
Plus), can I just move the SIM card to the new phone and continue on?

The IMEI for the phones is different.  Some lock to the IMEI of the
phone, not to the SIM card.  Check with your cellular provider.  They
should know how they track an account.  Tell them which make and model
of phones you have, and if they are SIM card or cardless (eSIM).

You can go into the Android setting -> General -> About phone -> Status
to see the IMEI for each of your phones.  That is fixed to each phone,
and why it provides a means of tracking.
