The problem with this statement is that the game will most likely not center around marines, but most likely about the referenced Spartan-IIs from the teaser-trailer. Even if he would've been active during the fall of Reach and stationed on the planet of Reach the chances would've still been recently slim to have encountered Spartan-IIs. Especially if it will be based upon The Fall of Reach novel in which Buck had not been featured.
As far as everyone knows Buck and the Halo 3 ODST idea was not thought of when the book came out.
Fact is that we have to look at the Halo story from a canonical point of view instead of a RL point of view. If we would take that as our POV all the things introduced during Halo 2 and Halo 3 would canonically not exist during evering pre-battle for earth, whilst many things did.
