Doubtful. I think there are three main possibilities, with the third being by far the most likely.

First, it is possible that Rubedo isn't level 100. She could be in the 90s but basically min-maxed and supplemented by the power used during her creation. After all, Gargantua also doesn't appear in this image, so we could assume that it is also below the level cap despite being stronger than even Shalltear. I admit that I do think it's highly unlikely that AOG would use a World Item on an NPC and then not level her to 100, but I suppose it is possible.

Second, it is conceivable that Rubedo is actually over level 100. Apparently the Caloric Stone allowed the user to make a request to the devs, so it might be that Rubedo is level 120 or something crazy like that and that explains her immense power.

Second point five, Rubedo could be level 0 with the same stats as a level 100 character. What AOG might have asked for when creating her was that her level not count against the total number of levels the Great Tomb of Nazarick allowed. So while effectively level 100, she'd technically be level 0 or 1 or some other low number.

Third, this is simply a piece of art that depicts the confirmed level 100 characters and shouldn't necessarily be taken completely literally. This would explain Gargantua's abscence (assuming it is level 100) as well.
