Does it make a difference if I were to gear some 22T front/ 28T back compared to
28T Front/ 22T back?
As long as gear ratio are the same I would get the same top speed but better acceleration with a bigger Tooth on the back, right?

The whole thing starts before that. The gear ratio of the engine to front sprocket is all important. A Minarelli is geared high,a Tomos and Morini geared low. So a Minarelli needs a big rear sprocket and small front one.
The Tomos has a big front sprocket and small rear one. It's all related to the engine to front sprocket ratio and the tire diameters also.
Usually one more front tooth equals about three rear teeth.
its different final speed, cuz u gotta take into account engine internal gearing and the rear tire.
what bike? sounds like a tomos. if u want better accelleration go back to stock, 26 f , 24r.
Of course theres a difference.

Acceleration and theoretical top speed are inversely proportional. Larger front and/or smaller rear increase Top speed. Smaller front and/or larger rear increase acceleration. (edited)
smaller sprockets get hotter.
