An connection is in the ESTABLISHED state once a packet has been seen.

No, it is in state "new" with a mere syn sent.
You have to specify whether you are talking about the TCP connection
status or the conntrack status. A mere SYN is sufficient to make an
ESTABLISHED status in conntrack. If that were not true, then when
I send a TCP SYN packet the SYN/ACK would never make it back through
my firewall.
