Yes, that is indeed your problem. Or, rather, the lack of the init is
your problem.

When the activation hook fires, your plugin has just been included.
Init occurred before that happened. So your init doesn't get run, and
thus your text domain never gets loaded before you try to start
translating things. You need to load the text domain before you use
translation functions.
