Common Salt (NaCl) is almost always derived from sea water, although often having been deposited underground and eventually pushed to the surface over several million years.
So ALL salts, no - but all edible salts - mostly. Things like MSG and Ammonium Chloride do not come from the sea, and could be used to flavor your crackers, but they'd certainly taste different
The main source of non-oceanic salt would be continental salt lakes (like the Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea). However, even the salt in these closed land basins comes from the weathering of rocks. Rivers carry those dissolved minerals down into the basin. Because those original rocks were often formed by ancient marine sediments, even lake salt usually has a prehistoric oceanic connection.
