What you're asking has no relevance to positions of belief. It has relevance to physical things. These aren't isms.
Did humanism exist before humans? No.
Did non-human things exist before humans? Yes.
If you're saying atheism is a lack of theism, that's fine—loosely. But it will be confusing to other people if you don't clarify that stance. people with English as secondary language, other atheists or theists, people that delve into atheism, or people that are curious about how their stance fits in etc.
Deism is without theism, that doesn't make it atheism. The article is quite clear. Being a position of belief is indicated by the ism. The part before it defines the position of belief. Whether disbelief/lack of belief of the gods, or belief in no gods. It is not being without the belief of the belief in gods. That's just anything that's without theism which is soooo many things.
Now please clearly explain the difference between the position "no belief in gods" and "no belief in gods because the concept doesn't yet exist". That's what your entire position hinges on, and you haven't given any arguments for it.
Also, the article is quite clear in not supporting your position. It says:
No mention of requirements regarding pre-existing concepts or anything similar.
