Answer

No

Work Step by Step

As the axis system rotates, the angle between the vector and the $x$ axis changes. Therefore, the component of the vector along $x$ may changes to a finite value. Thus, a vector having zero component along the x axis of a certain axis system may not have zero component along the x axis of another (rotated) axis system.
