Only Sony that I know of so most are assuming this although we won't know for sure until Chipworks pulls one apart and put it under their microscope.
But economically I can't imagine Pentax using any other sensor developed just for a K1 which would be a low volume seller. The costs would be huge and not in line with the RRP. Whereas the Sony 36MP sensor has already been shared amongst the Nikon D800/800E/810 and Sony A7r.
Of course Pentax will add their own 'toppings' on the sensor so image characteristics will differ a bit.
But as you wrote earlier on in the thread, primary specs like FPS that are based on bandwidth can't differ much no matter how much better the supporting electronics are.
