It was and it wasn't. We had to use Evokers to call our Personas, first of all. It was pretty hard to call them without them. We didn't know about Philemon either, but I'm not so sure he wasn't there, because Igor-san was helping me in the Velvet Room.
But as for how people gained the potential to become Persona users, I couldn't really tell you. What I do know is that people without that potential couldn't enter the Dark Hour and remember it. Normal people transmogrified into coffins during that time. So Mitsuru-senpai - Mr. Kirijo's daughter - looked for people who were awake during the Dark Hour and recruited them to join our team as Persona users.
