Yes, the main plot of the film is set in 1963. However, the events Edie and Jakob Lehnsherr appear in aren't a flashback, because it never flashbacks from 1963 back to when Edie and Jakob were in the camps. It starts off when Erik was a boy then skips a few years to when he's an adult. It's part of the film's main plot. In simple terms, it's basically moving from point A to point B. It's not starting off in point B then flashing back to point A.

Now, Edie, Erik, and Shaw do appear in a flashback in the middle section of the movie, when Charles looks at Erik's memories. Now, THAT's a flashback.

Another example would be Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, who appeared in the opening of the film in the 1980s before the film moving to present day. Now, editors didn't put (Appears in flashback and main story), because it wasn't a flashback. No character was flashing back to that particular moment.

Also, it's first chronological appearance because they previously appeared in the first X-Men film, but First Class expands upon that.

Now, please stop the edit warring because I have given clear evidence as to why it shouldnt be "Appears in flashback and main story". (The evidence being previous examples on the site and basic narrative structure).
