Your probably right that she had never met the Charmings prior to the first curse but there is time for her to interact with other people. It was confirmed, by Adam I believe, that Belle had adventures with Robin Hood at somepoint after she first met him, so she has obviously had time to do something else, probably between the time she met Grumpy and when she left Rumple's castle.
