Apparently not.

Prov 8:22-24 (NLT)  "The LORD formed me from the beginning, before he created
anything else. {23} I was appointed in ages past, at the very first, before the
earth began. {24} I was born before the oceans were created, before the springs
bubbled forth their waters.

And here the English read is lost. The Hebrew really doesn't have the
technicity to address infinity. However, in Jn 1:1, which refers back
to Wisdom of Proverbs, does. It employs the imperfect tense so that a
literal reading would be...

"In the beginning was [already]the Word and the Word was [already]
with God and the Word was [already] God."

Another failure in your deduction is to consider the impact of Jn 1:3
where "Nothing" that has come into into existence outside of God came
into existence apart from the economy of the Logos. The logical fall
out of this is that the Logos was no created.
