I’ve always just assumed that the only thing that would change is how long it takes to become ice. Am I correct?

There is a difference in dissolved substances. If you start with boiled water, you decrease the amount of dissolving gas in your water, and if you cool it quickly enough, there won’t be much chance for it to redissolve. This might get you clearer ice.
On the flip side, if your water is dirty, and has dissolved solids in it, then starting with cold water would give you the chance to separate them from the water, because solids don’t dissolve well in cold water.
Other than that though, I can’t think of any inherent difference between them.
