No, your available space hasn't increased.

If you start with 1 host at let's say 100TB capacity and size 1, your
available space is at most 100TB (ceph will actually not allow you to fill
drives to 100% by default)  - Available capacity = raw capacity
If you now add a second host also with 100TB capacity and increase pool
size to 2, your available space is still 100TB because all your data is now
stored twice - Available capacity = raw capacity / 2
If you go to 3 nodes and size 3 (which you should if you value your data)
then available capacity will still only be 100TB because all your data is
stored 3x - Available capacity = raw capacity / 3
Only if you add more nodes and keep the replication factor at 3 your
available space will increase.

A bit simplified but that's what it boils down to.
