So did the lady get outed?

This article is very mindboggling to me and hard to follow.

That is unclear since she has not been identified in the lawsuit. But several people were successfully identified, and she might have been one of them.

Whether or not she was outed then, I'm willing to bet money that at some point during the lawsuit she will be tracked down and outed in a rather public fashion. Filing lawsuits that upset tech people is not a good way to protect your privacy...

This is my assumption as well, I mean this lady really does not want her privacy concealed if she is taking netflix to court she really wants money to compensate for what little damage was done. To be honest people are much more accepting of gay people and she would be able to stay relatively closeted (depending on the size of her home town) compared to what will happen when this becomes a public spectacle.
