In a sense, you are correct. The orbit is getting closer.
"A Supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee (the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit) resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy or a full Moon around perigee."
~Britannica and Wikipedia
According to USA Today, the Supermoon that rose on Wednesday is also called Buck and Thunder Moon or Buck Supermoon. This just happens to be the closest so far in 2022. I get the feeling there will be an even closer one later this year.
