You are certainly correct by calling the statue 'Christ the Redeemer', because that's who the statue represents.

However, when you refer to a statue as 'Christ the Redeemer', it usually refers to the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The one in Vung Tau is known in Vietnamese as 'Tượng chúa Kitô', or Christ the King Statue. That's according to the official source below:
