They totally knew: before that interrogation, Kylo talked to Snoke about "the awakening" on Jakku. After the interrogation (before the escape), Kylo talked to Snoke about her defeating his mind reading attempt, as she "was untrained, but strong with the force." In essence, everyone knows she has the force, and Ren admits that (with no training) she is stronger than him.

I thought the awakening was when Rey touched Luke's Lightsaber? What was the awakening on Jakku? Perhaps, Kylo knew but the visions that Rey had didn't tell her that she had the force imo.

It was before they met Maz, so it actually preceded her touching the lightsaber.
