At what point did Paul become a child of God, born of God?

Your question really has two parts -

How is one born again - through baptism or simply through receiving Christ in your heart.
Was Ananias referring to Paul as a brother in Christ or using the Old Testament usage of the word brother.

Question number 1 has already been discussed many times on this forum. I will answer question 2.

It is likely that Ananias was referring to Paul as a "brother" in the same way that Stephen referred to the Jews as "brothers" and "fathers" (Acts 7:2). There is no way to know for sure.

Ananias already had news from God that Paul would become a brother of Christ. Paul probably became a "brother in Christ" during his conversion on the way to Damascus.
