Nah, she was created either before or during the Rebellion but for unknown reasons she stayed for too long at Kindergarten and did not participate in the battles. It is implied that Jasper was also created at Kindergarten, but unlike Amethyst she was drafted into the war - this prolonged stay at Kindergarten is why Jasper calls her an "overcooked runt".

After the Rebellion was over, the Crystal Gems went to Kindergarten and found Amethysts alone there and "adopted" her.
