Yes. After the right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs (through the pulmonary arteries), the pulmonary veins carry the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium of the heart.

Because blood vessels are classified by whether they lead into or away from the heart, the pulmonary veins are carrying oxygenated blood, whereas the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
