The central southern coastal province of Phu Yen

As many as 444 tonnes of rice have been sent to support households in need of food aid in the central southern coastal province of Phu Yen, as well as those suffering serious damage caused by natural disasters.

Source: "Rice aid supplied to poor households", Viet Nam News.

Is "the central southern coastal province of Phu Yen" correct here? Phu Yen is a coastal province in the South Central Coast of Vietnam.
Shouldn't it be "the south-central coastal province of Phu Yen"?
BTW, is "south" an adverb in "south-central"?
Thanks.
