Pool builder poured concrete shell a few months ago… about to plaster. Is this rust and if so what needs to be done to ensure it won’t be a future problem?

You have to figure out if that rust came from external material during construction or from rusting rebar in the gunite. It does not look like rusting rebar to me.
 
Concrete is not waterproof. Water will leak through it until plaster is installed. Your underground water may havegot contaminated by some construction material. I would clean it off and see if it returns.
