"So early"? It's never taken five episodes for a regional professor to appear (discounting the Johto arc since it was added onto the OS).
We never visited older regions before a new one either, so Magnolia appearing/making a silent cameo, is exactly in line with the rest of the regions: Appearing in the first episode of the new region.
