No, we live in a world where the people who worked on the '97 SE read the books. If Corucsant in the '97SE was already a PT reference, then why did they have to alter it in 2004 to make it a PT reference?
I doubt in '97 the look of the city (better, of the Jedi temple and the Senate) was completed or definitive. They were added to make it more recognizable.
Perhaps Leorge Gucas wanted to include a shot of the city in the SE because he planned on using it in the prequels, but that doesn't make it a reference to them. They didn't exist yet. It'd be like saying that George Clooney's character during season 1 of Roseanne was a reference to him coming back in Season 4. You can't really reference something nonexistent from the future.
