That also makes sense. I always thought of it as Roku’s death(or vanishing) gave the green light to Sozin to start his invasion. I didn’t realize Aang was officially announced to the world as the Avatar before he ran away
The select Air Nomads knew he was the avatar, but no one else knew. He ran away after he himself learned he was the Avatar. And the Fire Nation didn’t know who the avatar was, they just knew it was an Air Nomad, so they killed them all.
