Yes. You can think of sine as being the y-value of a coordinate point and cosine as being the x-value of a coordinate point.

If the y-coordinate of a vector is the sine of the angle, then the vector is a unit vector.
Therefore, by Pythagoras, the x-coordinate is the cosine of the angle.

If the y-component (not coordinate) of a vector equal to the sine of the direction angle, then the vector is the unit vector and and x-component of the vector is equal to the cosine of the vector.
