Is this the same collision theorized to have created the moon?


That's what is suggested here but according to the Giant Impact Hypothesis the impact happened about 4.5 billion years ago and formed the Moon from debris, and it likely vaporized much of any existing water on proto-Earth rather than delivering it... More investigations needed ...


Yes
