You are correct when it comes to its use in Six Sigma. I just looked it up and it ties right in to Bill’s Toyota example :
Sakichi Toyoda, the Japanese industrialist, inventor, and founder of Toyota Industries, developed the 5 Whys technique in the 1930s. It became popular in the 1970s, and Toyota still uses it to solve problems today. Toyota has a "go and see" philosophy.

Wasn’t it around before Six Sigma?
Perhaps not rooted in, I just know every lean six sigma type training I’ve sat through included the five whys.
