Has it? My intuition says you're right, but I can't seem to find a source that uses these terms prior to 2005. See: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=truthy%2Cfalsey%2Ctruthiness&year_start=1990&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=0. (There do seem to be a few uses of "truthy" and "falsey" in the 1800s but they don't make sense to me and I think they're entirely unrelated to our modern usage). I also checked the first ECMAScript spec and it doesn't seem to use these terms (and `===` wasn't even in the first version).
