Answer

When you are using the present tense, it means that it is still a valid fact.  When you use past time, you are indicating the event had happened long ago.

Answer

Yes "that was a lifetime ago" is better to say because the word "ago" refers to something that has already happened in the past. 
I hope this helps :D
