Correct, 747's equipped with stab fuel automatically use that fuel first - short of a failure which prevents fuel transfer there will never be usable fuel in the stab at cruise or after landing.
I believe the A330 can use stab fuel for cruise trim, so it potentially can have cold soaked fuel in the stab after landing.
