In her past, Venat met us. So she ordinarily would know for certain that we travelled to Elpis and that the loop exists. The only way in which she wouldn't be certain is if there was another timeline in which the loop didn't originally exist, and the two formed a conjunction with each other after the appropriate criteria were met, merging into a single timeline.
Meeting the WoL in the past doesn't mean she would know whether or not the one she would later meet in the lifestream would be the same one. For all she knew her plan could've gone awry somewhere along the way, resulting in the WoL she would meet down there being one that never traveled to Elpis in the first place. Alternatively, she may think it could be they would meet before the trip to Elpis. There are any number of variables that would leave Venat unable to tell whether or not she was meeting the "you" from Elpis or from different point along the journey.
