Pigs were there before ivc times in the indus valley cultures. Here is
one example of an excavation report for one site that lists the bones etc.
of animals found:

Would an Indigenous Arya theorist like to explain why Arya reared pigs
between 2000 BCE and 1600 BCE ...

Among the animal bones were those of Elephas maximus Linn. (Indian
elephant), Bos indicus. Linn. (zebu or domesticated humped cattle of
India), Bubalus bubalis Linn. (Indian domesticated buffalo), Capra hircus
aegagrus Erxleben (domesticated goat), Ovis aries dolichura Duerst
(domestic sheep), Axis axis Erxieben (chital or spotted deer) and Sus
scrota cristatus wagner (domestic pig). Bara has given four C-14
dates,among the other three dates, two, 1890 + 95 and 1845 +155 B.C., come
from the middle levels and the third, 1645+90 B.C., from the upper levels.
Considering that there is a substantial deposit of 1.8 m below the level
yielding the date of 1890 + 95 B.C., Bara would date at least to a span of
2000 to 1600 B.C.

.... and then suddenly started considering pigs as filthy?

As horse based nomads the aryans could not sustain pig domestication, pigs
can only be supported with fixed agriculture. Pigs were found first in
the middle east but the indus valley cultures traded widely by ship to
that area so getting pigs to use was no problem. S. asia was the source
of other primary animal and plant domestication. I found this example of
pig mentioned in veda related scripture:

30. If he has swallowed the flesh of a dog, a ***, a village pig, a grey
heron, a vulture, a Bhâsa, a pigeon, a man, a crow or an owl, (he must)
fast during seven days, (and thus) empty his entrails (afterwards he must)
eat clarified butter, and be initiated again.
