Surely the answer was found in this thread, but in the given episode? nope, not at all.
Again, you don't need "all the tidbits information" spoonfed to the audience. What you need is how the scenes are stuck together in a correct flow to have a proper narration. Simply having 1 liner to set the context is quite poor, especially in an anime format.
There is a fine difference between simple "ho by the way, we met him at X and Y" than really having like 20 seconds or a flashback sequence format.
Again, another problem of "show, don't tell". And it isn't like you need a full extra episode to tweek transitions between scenes, although I could picture these 2 stories into 2 full episodes instead.

I read the sidestory after watching the episode, and I had no trouble following the beginning scene.
Kirito saved them. Thanks a bunch. Join our happy guild ok? Good times by all.
That's all the viewer really needs to know to begin the setting of the episode.
