Yes and no.

In two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, the answer is usually yes. So the point (4,7) has x value 4 and y value 7.

But there are other uses for ordered pairs. For example in polar coordinates a point is specified by an ordered pair (r, theta), and the second number is an angle. You need to know what context you are working in.
