Is it true that at any given moment the Moon is above the horizon for roughly half of Earth's surface, so it is visible from both daylit and night-time regions at the same time?

Unclear. Two sources partially support the claim: a NASA explainer notes the Moon spends almost as much time in the daytime sky as at night, and a Wikipedia passage notes the Moon stays above the horizon for two weeks at the poles. Neither source quantifies that the Moon is above the horizon for roughly half of Earth's surface at any given moment.
