No, the moon doesn't spin, it ORBITS the Earth, but the same side faces the Earth at all times. Human eyes never saw the dark side until Apollo 10 orbited the Moon.

The "spin" part is more of a technicality.
Like I said, an observer on Mars would see all sides of the moon, and to him, it would complete a revolution. Therefore, it must rotate.
