Do nematodes work at removing fungus gnats from moss? I use PON so they’re not in my soil, I think they’re in my moss poles so I’m trying to figure out how to treat the poles.

Yes, as long as the moss post stays moist after you treat them with the nematodes it will be fine. They need the moisture to reproduce and stay alive.
