I believe that would be no, because in Kalos Meowth went inside a pokeball

Answer 1

No.
Team Rocket (Jessie and James) have never caught Meowth. They have had many arguments and Meowth was never withdrawn into a Pokeball. I don't recall Team Rocket ever mentioning Meowth having a Pokeball. Besides, if they caught Meowth, then Pikachu wouldn't have been able to put Meowth in a Pokeball.

Pikachu leaps onto another conveyor belt and throws a Luxury Ball at Meowth, which hits and calls him inside nearly capturing him. Meowth manages to escape, although he did enjoy the feeling of the Luxury Ball, then continues after Pikachu

If Meowth was caught, then that wouldn't have been able to happen. Also on the Pokemon they caught, it says Travels with, not Caught or on hand.

Did that really happen? I’ve haven’t watched the XY anime besides one or two episodes I watched on Cartoon Network when it still aired.

Yep it did in episode 79 of the XY anime.

And in Journeys, he mentions to Chloe that he was never caught.

Answer 2

In the episode "Everybody's Doing the Underground Shuffle!" When Chloe and Meowth get lost together underground he explains that while he helps team rocket they never actually CAUGHT him. he just kinda pals around with em
