Actually that is very unlikely.

If we look at sources like http://baddice.co.uk/primarch-discovery-order/

we find a rough order of when what Primarch has been found.

The Crusade lasted a bit longer than 200 years, maybe up to 250 (until the Isstvaan stuff).

Lorgar was found after  Lion el Johnsson.

Johnson was one of the later primarchs to be found, ~ at best 60 years before the GC ended. (the exiled Dark Angels were exiled for 50 years and that happened after their first major campaign and ended during the heresy.

Kor Phaeron was too old for getting the gene-seed, he also was old enough to have become the "teacher" of Lorgar in religious matters. We also know that Colchis was a feudal world, aka pre industrial --> people did not grow very old there. We also know that 7 years after the wars of faith on colchis began, the emperor came and Kor Phaeron received his implants.

Lorgar was raised by Kor Phaeron,l who was a priest in the main temple of Colchis, we know that Primarchs grow quickly.

So what do we know:  Kor Phaeron was a priest --> 20-30 years old as guess, maybe a decade more if we add some seniority, which is actually never mentioned).

if we add the 7 years betweenm the wars of faith on colchis and him receiving implants and add what 3-5 years for raising the primarch before the outbreak of the war, we get, at best an age of 50 for Kor Phaeron.

This will put him at a birth of earliest: GC year 150

Before that you have: 200000 Terran born first founding Astartes, all Astartes that can remember being part of the personal retinue (prior to the coming of the Emperor) of:

Horus – XVI Legion Astartes ‘Luna Wolves / Sons of Horus’ --> Abbaddon, Falcus Leman Russ – VI Legion Astartes ‘Space Wolves’ --> 13th great company Fulgrim – III Legion Astartes ‘Emperor’s Children’--> Lucius (Terran born) f.e. Magnus – XV Legion Astartes ‘ Thousand Sons’ Peturabo – IV Legion Astartes ‘Iron Warriors’ Lion El’Jonson – I Legion Astartes ‘Dark Angels’ --> Zahariel, Luther, Astelan
