While evidence of the execution of these paddle wheel boats tells us that the Chinese had started implementing these boats in the 4th century AD (Song Dynasty), it is argued that these boats were invented earlier, in the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD), where a dictionary-like book included the word lu (scull), explaining that the force it generated was along the ridge of the ship. Such a word would not have been created without the concept of ship building.

Not necessarily. A steamboat is a boat that is powered by steam (by propellers or paddle-wheels), so if the ferry is steam-powered, then it is a steamboat. Most ferries today have diesel engines and are not steamboats. Even if you can visually see a paddle wheel on a boat, it most likely still a diesel boat due to diesel being a lot safer. A lot of recreational river cruise boats have a paddle wheel added for show while the boat is actually being powered by a diesel engine. Most steamboats today aren't your classic "Mississippi Paddle-Wheel Riverboat" and are steam powered via propellers.
On a boat, a paddle wheel is turned by pistons. The pistons are powered with a steam engine. If the paddle wheel is meant to generate energy, the wheel turns as water flows over it, then the wheel turns other mechanical parts to do functions like grind corn, or power machines.
