does purchase date mean the device has been previously activated and not a new one?

I recently ( January 2025) bought an Apple Pencil from amazon, (from the apple page on amazon), supposedly new, after I received it, I entered the product serial number on the coverage page, but it shows the purchase date November 2024, does this mean that the Apple Pencil was previously owned and activated and not a new one since I haven’t activated it yet? thank you
