Yea, it comes from the verb form of cock, meaning to tilt, same word used when we cock a gun. So one eye is just tilted.

Most penises are tilted as well, hence the slang cock for penis

No idea if this is how the slang came about but I'll be confidently telling people this for the rest of my days.
