Evidently not, going by the story, Clark Kent is a reporter who when he went to Gotham only then found out about the Batman's existence.
So there's no way he would have known about him in Man of Steel so the average person not from Gotham wouldn't know him.
The battle with the Elves took place over only a few hours (maybe shorter), it was resolved by the time they had assembled a team of whoever was available (It probably would've just been Steve, Natasha and Clint available that fast since Tony was still dealing with the aftermath of IM3 and no one knew where Banner was but him).
The battle of New York took place over an hour or two itself. They never mentioned that they attempted to put a team together only for them to be too late. Thor didn't mention them.
Nothing.
Winter Soldier took place over like 2 or 3 days, and Hydra made sure to keep Cap and Widow from communicating with anyone to warn them of the truth. SPECIFICALLY the Avengers.
Nick Fury could have contacted The Avengers. The commotion that it caused would have been all over TV where they would have quickly known about it.
Maria Hill knew that Nick Fury was alive. Maria Hill could have contacted The Avengers.
There were plenty of ways they could have got them involved.
Also the Phase 1 MCU movies realized that the best way to introduce all the characters without having them meet until the end of Phase 1 would be to NOT make their first movies all involve planetary level stuff that should've attracted all superbeings and instead made them smaller more personal stuff with SHIELD (and Coulson) being the link.
Well Superman is more powerful than any of Marvel's heroes. He requires an equivalent level of threat and it was still made personal.
