You would be incorrect to do so.
Explanation:
Given the constraints of a ring structure, olefinic bonds, double bonds, must have cis substituents. As the ring grows in size, the constraints are loosened a little bit. Cyclo-octene is the smallest alicyclic ring that will support cis and trans isomerism with respect to the olefin. Of course, with di-substituted ring structures (but not this one!), cis and trans substitution is possible with respect to the plane of the ring, but not to the
