I think it's actually the other way around. I assumed that the human in the intro was Frisk and that the flashback when fighting Asriel was meant to show paralells between the two's falls. I don't know, the only way it would make sense for Chara to be from 201X is if this game took place in a completely different universe and their time was different. Otherwise I think Undertale takes place in the present day (or what will have been present day) and Chara lived much longer ago, as well as the six other human children.
