No, they are per window settings. You can have tabs in one window, and 
emulated tabs in another window at the same time. By using the smart 
indent initialisation hook, and the action routine set_em_tab_dist(n).
With n = 0, emulated tabs is turned off, with n > 0 it is turned on.
There are also actions to control the other tab settings.

The smart indent hook is under Preferences>Default Settings>Auto Indent>
Program Smart indent.
