Obviously the Holy Ghost can be poured out on someone who hasn't yet been baptized--it happened in scriptural examples. However, it seems that the apostles were fairly prompt about encouraging new believers to be baptized immediately, so I think they felt it was important.

and....wasn't that to declare to the public WHO they were following after they received the Holy Ghost?
Not so much they weren't saved until they were baptized, but to let everyone know they were saved?
