it is possible that Android phone can be used as a camera (using IP Webcam) with ngrok? any tutorial out there?

Best is probably a VPN, like WireGuard, which is quite easy to setup on the Linux system (which runs motionEye), and has a simple Android app.

Then you can use an app like DroidCam to stream the phone's camera, which can then be added as network camera to motionEye, when connected via VPN.
