Jes, oni povus diri "Mia poto plastas".
Sed ne en ĉi tiu frazo, ĉar oni uzas alian strukturon:
"Is that pot made of plastic?" (substantivo)
"Is that pot plastic?" (adjektivo)

I put "estas" first, before pot, and got it wrong. "Cxu tiu estas poto (is the pot) el plasto?"

Because "de" means possession, not material. In Esperanto we say "made from" or rather "is from"

I guees you mean "Ĉu tiu poto estas farita el plasto?"
Esperanto uses 'el' prepozicio to indicate material of.

Wouldn't that translation be " is that pot of plastic "? Is el enough to mean "made of" in this case?

Yes, it is. De 'el' prepozicio is the one to indicate material something is made of.
