Several years ago I got distracted changing the oil on my car. Somehow I forgot to put the oil filter on before I started the car. The oil light normally went out after about 5 seconds of the car running, so after about 10 seconds and the light not going off I shut the car off. There was 4 liters of oil on my garage floor. So in 10 seconds the pump drained all the oil out of the engine. How long do you think it would take to fill that filter? I bet it's full before the engine even starts.
So no I don't prefill the filter. I made that mistake when that car had 60,000 kms on it. I sold it with 220,000 kms and never had a single problem with the engine.
