Yes, you have correctly defined the element coordinates in a cylindrical system for your tube and the Y axis properties will be tangential around the tube.
When you plot stress, you should also use the cylindrical coordinate system to plot hoop stress tangential around the tube by plotting a Normal Stress in the Y axis of the cylindrical coordinate system.
