Nope.
1957 in a transistorized computer is far too late for the origin of pipelining.
Pipelining had already been used in computers with vacuum tubes a few years before and it had also been used already a decade earlier in computers with electromechanical relays, i.e. IBM SSEC, which had a 3-stage pipeline for the execution of its instructions (IBM SSEC had a Harvard architecture, with distinct kinds of memories for program and for data).
Before 1959, pipelining was named "overlapped execution".
The first use of the word "pipeline" was as a metaphor in the description of the IBM Stretch computer, in 1959. The word "pipeline" began to be used as a verb, with forms like "pipelining" and "pipelined" around 1965. The first paper where I have seen such a verbal use was from the US Army.
Outside computing, pipelining as a method of accelerating iterative processes had been used for centuries in the progressive assembly lines, e.g. for cars, and before that for ships or engines.
Pipelined execution and parallel execution are dual methods for accelerating an iterative process that transforms a stream of data. In the former the process is divided into subprocesses through which the stream of data passes in series, while in the latter the stream of data is divided into substreams that go in parallel through multiple instances of the process.
