Not necessarily. All pahoehoe is basaltic, but not all basaltic lava is pahoehoe. A'a and scoria are also basaltic.

What do fluid basaltic lavas commonly form?
Pahoehoe Flows.
Fluid basaltic lavas commonly form?
Pahoehoe flows
What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
Which type of basaltic lava has a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of ropes?
A rope shaped or billowy shaped flow is a form of basaltic lava known as Pahoehoe.
What is the consistency of pahoehoe lava?
Magma does not become paho'eho'e. It either comes out fast [pahoehoe] or slow [a'a]. I'm not sure about the cooling rate of the magma because you did not provide your question with a descriptive answer of its viscosity, temperature, etc.
Why is it that pahoehoe and AA lava are more frequent in shield volcanoes than in composite volcanoes?
Aa and pahoehoe lavas are both basaltic in composition. The lava from composite volcanoes is likely to be granitic.

Is pahoehoe fast or slow?
Pahoehoe is hotter than other lavas. It is basaltic lava, which is hotter than the other compositional varieties found on earth today. It is also generally hotter than a'a, another common variety of basaltic lava.
Fluid basaltic lavas like those in hawaii commonly form what?
Fluid basaltic lavas such as rhyolite and dacite typically form thick short lavas namely lava spines, lava domes or coulees.
What type of lava results in rocks with a ropy texture?
pahoehoe basaltic lava
What type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth unfragmented ropy surface?
Pahoehoe lava.
What type of magma are lava plateaus made from?
Lava plateaus are formed by highly fluid, basaltic lavas.
