this is not a valid syntax for Open MPI.

You can define nicknames for an ssh connection in a file ~/.ssh/config like:
Host foobar
User baz
Hostname the.remote.server.demo
Port 1234
While this will work with any nickname for an ssh connection, in your case the nickname must match the one specified in the hostfile, as Open MPI won't use this lookup file:
Host remotehost.com
User user
ssh should then use the entries therein to initiate the connection. For details you can have a look at `man ssh_config`.
