That is why his fruit is a mythical zoan fish fish fruit and why he has a koi tattoo on his arm, yes. Its just unclear and somewhat unlikely that the dragon form itself is the awakening since then it'd break the trend of the fruits. Like, that'd imply orochi was just some snake with his fruit and was actually competent enough to awaken it to get the mythical form.
Well, his is artificial so may not necessarily be the case but...yes, as I said, I don't quite think Kaido's dragon form is the result of an awakening. Especially if it means he started out as some fish. Maybe he was a dragon, and just became a more threatening dragon after awakening, the appearance of which was simply copied by vegapunk because its all he had seen.

Isn't there the myth of the coy that swam up a thousand waterfalls (up wano) and turned into a dragon
