Is Ilum the original Esh-Kha homeworld?

When you encounter the entity known as the 'World Razor' on the Republic planetary storyline for Belsavis, it speaks to you in what appears to be the Esh-Kha language (same voice-over) and the Esh-Kha seem to be revering and trying to wake it up. Belsavis is notable for being the place where the World Razor was imprisoned by the Rakata and it was the first thing to be imprisoned there. It appears to be a "force-entity" and is described as such in a cancelled novel where it is apparently something similar to the entity called 'Abeloth' which was sort of a lower-level servant of the Celestials. What is more intriguing is that if you choose the Dark-Side option and 'help' instead of imprison the World Razor, it directs you to Ilum where it claims its followers once were and there are some treasures they left behind.

It is worth noting also that Ilum is an ice-world and that Belsavis became one at some point after the prison was built (I theorize the World Razor's presence was what caused this over time).

 

I know the Esh-Kha seem to have been created by BioWare in the first place but based on these things, is the game trying to indirectly claim that Ilum was the original Esh-Kha homeworld and if so based on what was said above, how likely is this? It is known that Ilum was strong in the Force and was the major source of Jedi crystals but could it have been where the Esh-Kha came from in some bygone age during the Infinite Empire?
