The scripture says they were already followers. It says they were "certain disciples" and Paul asked them if they had received the Holy Ghost "since they believed". They believed on Jesus as preached by John. When Paul questioned their baptism and they said unto John's baptism, after Paul explained, they were then re-baptized in the name of Jesus.
This is clearly an important "technicality" or there would be no need for them to be "re-baptized".
