I'm pretty sure that if you get brake fluid on brake parts, it ruins them.
Brand new rotors will corrode as soon as you clean the oil off of them with brake parts cleaner. You should have done this when you installed them. They will also corrode like crazy after you blast them with water (when you wash your car). This is completely normal, and like you said, rubs off when you brake the first time or two. They'll last plenty long despite this.
Basically, a rotor is plain raw metal with no coatings or anything else on them. That's why they rust so bad. Hope this helps.
