Yes.
I agree. The only force both trying to upset the equilibrium and keeping it in place is gravity. If perhaps it was a spring pulled back to hit it, then it would probably fall over on the moon.

But......
The wood has a large surface area, and therefore considerable drag through the air, which will limit the amount of forward movement when the hammer hits, the atmosphere is very much thinner on the moon, so the effect of the surface area on the wood will be very minimal, thus it may fall over.
