Does Amazon reuse ASIN numbers?

Not sure if I'm asking this correctly, but I had left a review about the Ducky Shine 5 on Amazon a while back. Looking at the page again, the keyboard no longer exists on Amazon BUT has been replaced by a completely different product (iPhone stuff) by a different manufacturer. However, the new product page shows great reviews for the iPhone product only because all of the reviews are about the keyboard, not the iPhone cable. Does this mean Amazon reused something (assuming the ASIN id number)? Or is this a shady thing where some companies try to buy the product page, change the product, but are able to keep the great reviews? The amazon page in question: https://www.amazon.com/Jackiey-Braided-Lightning-Stereo-iPhone/dp/B01A60DWO4?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_dp
