You are right the scripture was very important to them and they made use of it.

The question is does the Scripture show a causal relationship between their infilling with the Holy Spirit and their study and reading of Scripture? I cannot see a causal relationship there. Peter was most likely speaking from inspiration and the scripture that he knew. There is nothing to indicate that their knowledge of scripture contributed to them all being filled with the Spirit.
