  AFAIK the very first time Star Wars was shown on theaters it did not have
the subtitle "Episode 4", but the next movie did have "Episode 5" as its
subtitle when it first was shown (causing quite some confusion). Star Wars
was then retroactively given its "Episode 4" subtitle.

  So it seems that, indeed, Lucas had planned for a prequel trilogy right
from the beginning.
