Yes it does. after the tailed beast is removed the former Jinchuuriki still has the nature transformation of said tailed beast. Gaara still has the ability to control sand even though he has not been a jinchuuriki in a while. if Naruto were to have all the tailed beasts removed from him and some how survived he would still have wind release lava release magnet release fire release earth release water release. it doesn't matter how a person has learned a nature type once they have learned it they have it for ever.
