Yes, if you don't have a domain name setup on the other server than an IP address will do just fine. If you changed the SSH port from the default 22 to something else, then you have to try something like:
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 222' ~myacctname backup2@IP.ADDRESServer1
Replace 222 with the correct SSH port and see if that works.
