Most likely from beef, yes: suet is to beef as lard is to pork, according to my understanding. (Could also be from mutton, though.)
I haven't tried a direct comparison; my local butcher saves me a big hunk of suet (at no charge) from time to time when he's been processing a beef animal, and it's lovely once rendered. Maybe I should ask him about lard next time I'm in there.
