Accessing sql 2014 Instances: confusing

$

Normally sql server listens on port 1433. Suppose I additionally installed another sql instance and opened firewall port 1434 (for the sql server browser).  Can I refer to the instance as

<servername>\instancename  

in SSMS and access the instance? (In other words, I thought that the sql server browser would take any  <servername>\instancename  reference and route it to the proper instance. So I don't need to enter port numbers for the instance, which I believe can by dynamic,) Or is there more to this story?

TIA,
