Is it true that the word Protestant derives from the 1529 Protestation presented at the Diet of Speyer?

Yes. Multiple reference works state that the word Protestant derives from the protest presented by Lutheran princes at the Diet of Speyer in 1529, including a book explicitly saying the word derives from the protest drawn up at that diet.
