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
