Sure. But it works just as well over any other port you like.
It's common to use 443 so as to make sure it's available from pretty much
anywhere since 443 is almost never firewalled. It even has special
support for sharing the 443 port with a web-server (config var
"port-share" which tells OpenVPN to forward incoming connections which
look like HTTPS instead of OpenVPN to some other port).

UDP is preferable all things being equal, indeed. But TCP works pretty
darn well, especially compared to "no other option" (when UDP is blocked
by a firewall).
