Minorly scholarly Jew checking in. That commandment did not exist when Adam and Eve were brought into Creation so it wouldn't apply. The Ten Commandments, of which the first is, "Thou shalt have no god before me" also does not define belief order. Before is taken as you either follow H-shem or you follow others gods but you cannot follow both. Your confirmation is bunk. Judaism is hereditary, initally patrilineal up until about 10BCE and then it became matrilineal as Jews migrated into other nations and parts of the world.
Ignoring the fact that many of the ten sayings are mistranslated. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" is actually the second saying in Jewdaism.
However, your view is correct. It is a prohibition on Idolatry. Many of the proto-Jews probably still worshipped other, singular gods from other religions and this was a means to get everyone on the same track. It was probably created the same time the idea of the LORD/YHWH was formed around 800BCE
