Not true. I was one of the first few to apply for DACA before June 2012 due to a pending court case that ended in prosecutorial discretion by ICE.
Like you stated, however, the first large batch of renewals will start to roll in this month since many applied for the initial DACA program in August 2012 (expiration date would be 3-6 months from this date).
If USCIS cannot handle the backlog now, it will certainly be a challenge once they start receiving the majority of renewal applications starting this month.
