No, I think what was meant when they said The 57th Expedition is their 57th attempt at going out of the safety of Wall Rose and into the Titan-infested Wall Maria.
I'm pretty sure the Scouting Legion had their own number of expeditions beyond Wall Maria, but somebody in the top tier must've decided that there should be a separation between the expedition beyond Wall Rose and Wall Maria. Maybe something to help the logs have more clarity and incite once someone in the future realizes that retaking Wall Maria took XX number of expeditions, X amount of years, and XXXX number of casualties.
That, or maybe the 3DMG was invented some decades after the humans migrated into the 3 Walls, so the expeditions are probably just once a year (if they're lucky and their numbers are adequate). An expedition still requires a lot of manpower.
