That's correct. Instead, there were Twilight Twinkle, Posy, Surprise, Firefly and Sparkler. Only the name Applejack was used in G1 and she was a very different pony - more like Derpy than the reliable farm mare we know.

FWIW, my headcanon is that the G4 Mane Six are all the distant descendents of these G1 ponies.
