Yes, actually many did, although it was very difficult to make a living there after WW1! It was more the "other way around" in that Austrian businesses flourished in the Czech Republic. For instance Moser glass (Austrian Firm) and all Austrian Federal Offices were abolished of course, and most of the Federal employees went to Austria at that time. In my hometown Karlsbad there was a cross-traffic between Vienna and Karlsbad in the hospitality industry which also included work in Austria and Switzerland during Winter for the Summer seasonal workers at our hotels, and the Cote d'Azure, Italy and Croatia in Summer for the Winter seasonal workers. A lot of people left for America then, also. But the connection with Austria was never broken, because industry, tourism, hospitality trade was firmly in the hand of Austrians, mostly Jewish Austrians. And I think there is also a pretty sticky situation now for their property they have left in the Czech Republic!
