No, because mdoules are only handled by the rsync daemon,
which is contacted via its own tcp port. Additionally modules are
indicated by a double colon "::module_name". What you're telling rsync
above is to transfer to the directory module_name in your home directory
on "host".

Check the home dir...

You'd have to forward the rsync port over an ssh connection:
ssh -L8730:127.0.0.1:873 host
Then, (separately) use rsync like so:
rsync --port=8730 filename localhost::module_name
and after the transfer stop the ssh session.
but that's a rather roundabout method...
