Yes, the ringing is caused by vibrations. The pitch is determined by the frequency (measured in hertz) which is how fast the waves alternate up and down. The water blocks the vibrations making them need to travel less up and down the glass, which makes the pitch higher.

How does adding water to a glass effect the pitch of the sound it makes?

I did a science experiment on this and a full glass was a C# a half full glass was an F# that was out of tune (flat) three fourths full a F that was also out of tune (flat) and a fourth full was a G that was again out of tune (sharp). This isn't exact and the size of the glass matters but this should be close.
