So if time didn't exist before the Big-Bang, then it would be correct to say the universe had a beginning? 

No, because we don't know. 

The universe could have existed forever and has been contracting and expanding to and from a singularity forever. We would likely never know because the big bang destroys any evidence we can detect of what was before by virtue of the event, all science knows so far is that it happened.

For all we know there could be multiple universes in space with a whole lot of emptyness in between and that light simply can't or have never reached us due to distance. The theory that there was absolutely nothing but a huge singularity that exploded and the galaxy will eventually implode again/shrink to a singularity or that there are multiple universes and ours is not the oldest are pretty much equally likely and unlikely. Hell the first one doesn't even rule out the last one.
