No, you're correct. There are plenty of "tri-state areas" throughout the country, but if you're in New York you're referring to NY/NJ/CT.

Also regarding the "outlying boroughs:" New York City has five boroughs - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. So saying anything is a "borough of Manhattan" is incorrect because Manhattan is itself a borough.
