Yeah, it seems pretty clear that they knew the dragons were coming based on how the walkers reacted. They didn't even flinch, and their leader just calmly had a spear handed to him and took one of them out of the sky.
It also explains why they waited to attack until shortly before the dragons arrived. Surely they could have just chucked spears at Jon and his friends, but instead they waited patiently.
I'm gonna wait until after next episode to discuss this in more detail, but if you go back and watch the scene with Bran flying overhead, I'm pretty sure that he sees the NK and the Walkers standing on the very rock that the hunting party ended up on.
It seems pretty clear that the show-runners wanted you to know it was a trap. Or at least wanted to hint at it.
