Yes, this is the origin. It has come first since the Ayuthaya era after the migration of the Chinese, who brought 'kuay tew' with them many centuries ago.

There is no difference between with and without boats, same ingredients and same tastes. Just that with boats, say, is a vintage style imitating the old way since back then the transportation in Siamese was water based.
