Objectivism did and does have plenty of adherents who never met Rand. Personal contact isn't a prerequisite for a personality cult.
It seems you are correct. I had a definition in mind for a cult of personality which was actually much narrower than what it actually means, upon looking it up. Nonetheless, so far you've implied a lot more than you've actually stated, and your arguments about "what is possible" are less interesting to me than arguments about "what is." Frankly, I find argumentation by implication annoying, so I'm tapping out.
