Chara most definitely is in Frisk's body from the start. As Flowey explains, Toriel brought back the Fallen Child's body to the Underground when she left, and buried it under the golden flowers that Frisk lands on in the beginning. Chara's essence(or something along those lines) then latches onto Frisk. This is further supported by the game's narrator, who is also Chara. For example, there's no way Frisk would be able to know certain details about monsters in combat without them giving off visual cues, like in the Asriel fight for instance. Asriel uses attacks that only Chara knows the name of(since for a short time they and Asriel were one being, the "God of Hyperdeath"), and that is why Chara/The Narrator is able to tell Frisk/The Player these details in the flavor text in battle.
