Before you embark on the journey of migrating to Azure Service Bus I would highly advise reviewing the differences between Service Bus for Windows Server (or SBWS) product (retired) and Azure Service Bus (ASB). While they used to have a common starting point, over they became two completely different products. SBWS was an on-premises, SQL Server backed offer. ASB is a hosted service running in Azure with two very distinct tiers, Standard and Premium. Behaviour wise the SBWS and ASB will work differently just because you will have a network between your system and ASB service.

So the short answer to the question, yes, an on-premises application can use ASB. Can it remain unchanged if it was using SBWS? Unlikely. API surface has changed, some concepts have evolved, etc. Best bet is to review ASB documentation first and have a proof of concept to verify your scenarios are explored.
