No. Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, is often called the historical Buddha, but he is not the only buddha. He taught that everyone can become a buddha just like him.

Why do Buddhas have snails on their heads?
the buddhas have snails on their heads to symbolize the fact that the buddha relied on the nature to protect him from sunburn as he was meditating for all of the rest of his life... here is the story One day, the Buddha was on a walk and began thinking very deeply. He came to a tree and sat down in its shade to continue his meditation. Hours passed, and the Buddha became so immersed in thought that he didn't notice the sun moving across the sky. The sun beat down on his bare head, and still he sat thinking. A snail was making its way along the ground, and he noticed the Buddha sitting there, thinking important thoughts. Snails are tough creatures, but they are made of moisture, and have to be very careful of drying out, so the snail saw right away that the Buddha's head was soon going to become a painful distraction to his great thoughts. As fast as it could, the snail made its way up the Buddha's robe to his head, and sat there, with his mucous-y body cooling the Buddha's smooth, bare skin. Other snails noticed and followed the first one, covering Buddha's head in a neat cap of spiral shells and cool, damp bodies. Hours passed, and the snails became parched and dry. When evening fell and Buddha stood, noticing his surroundings once more, he found he was wearing 108 snails, all of whom had given their lives to further Buddha's path to enlightenment. These snails are now honored as martyrs and are shown on many statues of the Buddha to remind us of their sacrifice.
