While Anime Exclusive Asura was seen using Wood Release, but considering he's the Ancestor of the Senju Clan, which the Kekkei Genkai is affiliated with, is it possible that Wood Release originated with Asura?

Big deal... even hashirama's own brother tobirama didn't had it .the ability was said to be exclusively of hashirama alone. Perhaps their could be more to the story than they have already let on...
Wood Release is alien and derived from the Ten-Tails' own ability, like the Three Great Dojutsu. They're moreorless a pseudo-Jinchuriki powers, so with Asura inheriting the Hagaromo's "body", it's very possible. Keep in mind, in the very same episode that Asura uses Wood Release, he is later seen inside of a giant chakra cloak, similar to the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.
So, those representing Hagaromo's "body" (his descendants: Asura, the Senju, the Uzumaki clan) can seemingly have the abilities of Jinchuriki (like Wood Release in Asura & Hagaromo's case) OR are simply suited to be Jinchuriki (as done with members of the Uzumaki and potentially Asura).
I like how everyone arguing for "Wood Release is a Hagoromo's body type of power" conveniently ignores the fact no other inheritors of Hagoromo's body were ever even mentioned to have WR, Asura reincarnations or not.

Aside from Hashirama and Naruto (who couldn't have had the Wood Release because plot) we don't even know name of any of the previous reincarnations of Asura, much less their abilities.

Wood Release as Hashirama displayed it was something that earned him renown through the world. Rinnegan only happened in Madara after Hagoromo, and it still became the stuff of legends, so people obviously knew about it, even if they didn't necessarily believe it was real. If someone else had manifested Wood Release at some point, people would have known.
Just a question. If it takes all elements of release to perform truth-seeking balls as a form of kekkei tota/mora then does the person who uses it automatically have access to all other kekkei genkai elements?
Nope, that's like saying anyone who can use Water Release and Earth Release can use Wood Release.

Completely different thing.
Onoki seems to have the answer though, as he has the kekkei Tota Dust Release (fire earth and air) but lacks the Kekkei Genkai of the same elements (blaze magma and magnet)
Databook claims that the user can combine any of the natures in the Truth Seeking Balls, they are not always all the natures/same natures, so basically yes I would say so.
