Yes.

First, the syntax is (telephoneNumber>=983222222).  If
input via a command line argument, you need to escape or quote
special characters.

Second, telephoneNumber is defined in the standard track
specifications as:
  ( 2.5.4.20 NAME 'telephoneNumber'
    EQUALITY telephoneNumberMatch
    SUBSTR telephoneNumberSubstringsMatch
    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.50{32} )

Note the lack of an ORDERING matching rule.  Hence, the assertion
is Undefined.

By equality and substrings, yes.
