Does this seem correct, or does the story suggest the colonies are older than that?

I don't think that's the case. Ozma and Ranka moved to Frontier in 2049.
The Miss Macross Frontier Contest was in it's 20th year so Frontier was launched in 2039. Just a year after Macross 7 was launched Macross Frontier was launched.
So multiple colony vessels were launched the same year or year later as Macross 7.
Macross Galaxy the 31st emmigration fleet is what deviated from the standard ship design started with Macross 1.
Macross 1 (A fleet composed of 4 New Macross Class ships plus escorts.)
Macross Galaxy takes the singular ship colony concept of the Megaroad class.
It is different from other fleets as it appears to have Meltrandi derived escort ships.
But having multiple ships appears to be common. Macross 5 had 3 NMC vessels and 1 thee-star factory ship. Not counting the 4km long Neo Nupetiet-Vergnitzs battleship. Macross 5 had Zentradi variant Bolognese stealth cruisers as escorts.
Macross 7 had 1 NMC plus 6 or 7 specialization residential ships. If you count the cemetary ship Heaven from the Macross 7: Trash. By 2047 Macross 7 had another ship the Budokan, a concert ship, was added. Also in 2047 a new Battle 7 was being constructed. Macross 7 had more of the standard escort with Urugas, Guantanamos, and Bolognese as escorts.
Macross Frontier's Island 1 is a supersized version of the NMC city block. 15 km in length compared to City 7's 5 km. With a greater space of 150 square km area. City 7 had 50 square km area. Also having island ship attachments. So Macross Frontier compared to the rest of the fleets brought an entire country with them.
