During the SMN quest line, you see, Ul'dahn people show that they clearly cannot recognize the Egi as being Ifrit or related to Ifrit. This leads me to believe knowledge of even the appearance of the Primals to not be public knowledge.
What takes us to her desire to practice summoning. Sure she may be passionate about the Lord of Dragons, but do people really know Bahamut to be a Primal?
The average person probably hasn't seen a primal and lived to tell about it, but there are people that know what they look like. The Immortal Flames send parties out to fight Ifrit that don't include the WoL, which is how Tristan and his brother encountered Ifrit.
People do know that Bahamut is a primal. NPCs refer to him as an elder primal several times in the MSQ. Remember that the average person still thinks that primals are literally old gods in the flesh, and not aether ghosts. I'm fairly sure that Garleans see even Midgardsormr as an eikon. So even if they don't know who summoned him, or how he was summoned at all, a person seeing a massive dragon god pop out of a moon are going to assume he's a primal anyway.
Fair enough.
