As a general rule when wondering if a given construct works, try it and see what happens Smilie , (NB: does not apply to potentially destructive commands)

Code:
for i in $(seq 10) ; do echo cut -d\, -f$i tmp.csv ; done
cut -d, -f1 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f2 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f3 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f4 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f5 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f6 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f7 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f8 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f9 tmp.csv
cut -d, -f10 tmp.csv

Looks good to me...
