no, because FAQ's were found on gopher too, and there were some back in the bbs era too, you can find evidence of faq's on textfiles.com
Usenet was filled with FAQs. Newsgroup FAQs were, and presumably are, posted to the groups on a regular basis and available on news.answers (or something like that.) I wrote one that is now widely available on the WWW, but it initially was Usenet-only.
