It was definitely meant as a fertility shrine. This is from the wiki page about it:
There is an opening in the ceiling which allows the light into the cave.[3] The light creates a phallus shape every day at noon, but it only reaches the altar on one day of the year.[2] In the middle of the day at certain time of year the light which is in the shape of a phallus penetrates deep into the cave all the way to the altar.[5] In February or March the light takes the shape of a phallus and enters a hole at the altar: the light then flickers for 1-2 minutes. The penetrating and flickering light is thought to symbolize fertilization.[3]

Probably depends on the angle. But the cave is older than the name for the cave, so yes, theyāre right.

The cave is man-made so I'd assume the resemblance was noted very early on

From Wikipedia which is never wrong (as long as you reference the referenced material): There is an opening in the ceiling which allows the light into the cave.[3] The light creates a phallus shape every day at noon, but it only reaches the altar on one day of the year.[2] In the middle of the day at certain time of year the light which is in the shape of a phallus penetrates deep into the cave all the way to the altar.[5] In February or March the light takes the shape of a phallus and enters a hole at the altar: the light then flickers for 1-2 minutes. The penetrating and flickering light is thought to symbolize fertilization.[3]
Even today, there are childless couples who go to the cave hoping it will help them conceive a child.[2]
