You appear to be operating under the assumption that the expansion rate of the universe is constant (e.g. everything within our visible horizon has always been within our visible horizon).
This is not the case. You're ignoring the inflationary epoch, where the universe expanded extremely rapidly for a very short period of time, and you're also ignoring that the expansion rate of the universe is apparently accelerating today, but that it has not always been so.
So, I'd have to say the answer to that question is a qualified "no".
