A being does not need to have always existed in order to know everything. As long as it knows everything that happened before it came along, and everything that is going to happen in the future, there isn't anything preventing it from being all knowing.
Unless you can give me an example of something a being could not possibly know without being timeless?
Your other part (all powerful implies all knowing) is fine though, although as discussions with Arcanus earlier in the year showed, the definition of "all-powerful" should really be addressed before I can know what you mean. What kind of "all-powerful" are you talking about?
