This is correct.

DFT charges would not be "over-polarized" to the same extent as HF
charges, and so would not be consistent with the partial charges used in
force fields in the "Cornell et al." family, of which the current
version is ff14SB.
Depending on the composition of your nanotube, this might or might not
make much difference.
(I can't help repeating, if only for the benefit of other readers of the
list: we strongly recommend against using the amber99 force field for
peptides or proteins.)
