One might argue that there are two (plus?) different notions here, the Moment, and what happened "before Time" in the sense of pre-history, and the Godplane, the place where one goes when one worships, or heroquests. One might that these are the same thing, or that one or other is an inherently infeasible notion, but that's a separate (set of) issue(s).

Details, details. At any rate, Kolat is certainly believed to have been one of the brothers by most Orlanthi, albeit not one that's directly worshipped. Kolatings, etc, after all. You'd not be a popular entity if you accused your friendly neighbourhood shaman of being a God Learner Dupe, to say the least.
