Yes, it was the Halo test conducted by Mendicant Bias upon Charum Hakkor that released the seals upon the Timeless One, allowing him to escape.
While I'm reluctant to believe the theory myself, as it was stated in Cryptum (albeit in the perspective of Didact's memories within Bornstellar) that the Timeless One predated the Flood by, if I'm not mistaken, hundreds of thousands of years. At the very least, that means that the Timeless One, if his species is one and the same as The Flood, encountered the Forerunner unaided, on his own. That seems pretty suspect given what we know about the modern tendencies of the Flood.
I'd really enjoy it if the Timeless One was a Precursor, only if the Precursors are a separate species from The Flood..
But remember that the Forerunners, at one time, rebelled against the Precursors. The entity at Charum Hakkor wasn't the only one they had ever contacted.
