In the broad sense, yes, the theory is 110 years old, but this specific possibility which yes, uses that theory as a basis, wasn't hypothesized until 1934z

What theory exactly in 1934 ? 

Cause general relativity which uses special relativity as a basis was thought up of only 10 years after special relativity which is about 100 years ago ...

No theory in 1934. In 1934 it was hypothesized that 2 photons could collide and form a positron and an electron, which is what these scientists have figured out how to test.
