Interesting premise, but there are a few discrepancies between what you have in your post and what actually happened in the books.
1) In the books, it was the dragons, not the people who were developing additional talents (this was in The Skies of Pern, I believe).
2) After the events of All the Weyrs of Pern, the Red Star was on a collision course with another planet.  As a result, any incoming meteors wouldn't likely have come into contact with the Red Star.  They could still have passed through the Oort Cloud, where thread originates, or they could have passed by the planet that the Red Star collided with, though, and picked up thread that way.

In any event, this sounds interesting, and I will be keeping my eyes on this.
