>>923191 Almost correct. It all depends on which sect you believe, really. Some believe that there are/were/will be only a handful of Buddhas. Some think that reaching enlightenment makes one a Buddha. Some believe that everyone is a Buddha, or has the potential to become a Buddha. However, most people are unaware of their latent Buddha-nature.
Siddartha Gautama is considered 'the' Buddha because he brought about the religion/philosophy.
So basically yes, technically no. It really depends on what school.
