Yes, this is what is does. You first enter in a host name and choose a domain from dyndns.org when you register. You then download a client. You then run this client when you log into your isp or start it as a daemon if you are using broad band (just stick the command into /etc/ppp/ip_up.local). What this client does is to map the fully qualified name to the ip address that your isp have assigned to you for the session. You can then access you machine from any where on the Internet by using the fully qualified name. If you run the client in daemon mode, it will check if the ip have changed and remap it accordingly.
