The challenge we are facing is how to handle time synchonization data for SNMPv3 for all agents. Seems like the library expect all agents to start up at time 0 (at the same time as the trap receiver is started?) Is there something we are missing here?

that's a challenge you set for yourself. SNMP does not require time sync at all. So you have to figure it out on your own.

Do you mean SNMPv1 and SNMPv2x does not require time sync at all?

I think in SNMPv3 you have to use the USM (User-based Security Model)? Or is it optional in SNMPv3?

From what I can see this is stated in the RFC2574 on [Page 6]:
" - The timeliness module MUST provide for:

 - Protection against message delay or replay (to an extent
   greater than can occur through normal operation)"

and

" The timeliness module is fixed for the User-based Security Model
while there is provision for multiple authentication and/or privacy
modules, each of which implements a specific authentication or
privacy protocol respectively."

Please clearify.
