Are there any large investments being made to desalinate ocean water and turn the purified water into hydrogen fuel like NASA’s plan to do with lunar ice water? eli5

To answer the question literally: yes!
And although it is inefficient and expensive, hydrogen is seen as a significant part of a low-carbon future world economy if we are to stop climate disaster. Countries with abundant sunshine or wind could export hydrogen (potentially).

There are several large projects at various stages of financing for large scale green hydrogen production, some using desalination.
