No. That is not correct.
1. I-130 is processed by USCIS. (can take a year)
2. I-130 is sent to NVC.
3. NVC requests documents and fees
4. After document qualified, NVC sends case to consulate in home country. (after case is at front of the line)
5. Consulate interviews applicant.
6. Consulate issues visa
7. Visa holder travels to US.
The entire process can take 2 years.

Her K-1 visa was voided when she entered the country. I see 2 options:
Option 1. Send the pictures to the same address with a letter of explanation. There is no guarantee it will reach the original I-485 since there is no reference number assigned.
Option 2. Wait and see if you receive an RFE. Then send the pictures.
She is still in "authorized to remain" status (not legal status) from day 91 until the I-485 is either approved or denied.
