Certainly this is an option.

If true, however, the big point this brings up is "Where did Spellbreaker come from originally?"

If it's simply part of an "original" Godslayer, then presumably some ancient Serioli weaponsmith is responsible, and Spellbreaker is simply the remnant that the gods were unable to destroy.

However, if Vlad is the first/only creator, as you posit, then who made it? Loraan? Some unnamed Serioli? Someone else? And WHY was it created? Specifically to be a part of the Great Weapon it would later become? Or for some other reason?
