Oh I don't think that Maya knew Ali before moving to Rosewood at all. But it was made pretty clear in the show that they were both hiding out at Noel's (now that we know Noel was in on Ali's plans, I think it's pretty obvious Ali and Maya were both there at the same time). I'm not sure why there would be so much of Ali's stuff there if Ali wasn't there (most of it seemed useless for Maya to take especially since she was on the run from Nate).

I think that she learned about Ali through her stuff and then ended up meeting her (we see a blonde girl in Maya's bedroom - possibly Ali). I don't know all the details; but I'm so sure that they met in person after Maya moved in. Whether through Ali sneaking back to her room to get one of her many fake passports or through them meeting at Noel's.
