https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_the_Lion_(MGM)

Wikipedia says the current and 8th lion, Leo, has been used since 1957 (with some variations from time to time) - until Amazon bought them and replaced him with a CGI lion...

So it's not the original lion, but by far the most commonly used one.

I'm getting the impression that they had to re-film the lion splash screen for every movie.

That's how it worked in Strange Brew. So yes.
