Without some form of money would there be anything we could refer to as inflation; could the concept even exist?

You mean no currency at all? Like back to bartering? Not really, prices of goods would fluctuate relative to each other, but the idea of all prices rising in a barter economy is kinda nonsensical if you think about it.

That's pretty much what I suggest when I say without money or some equivalent you couldn't have inflation as we conceive it.

It's just an idle thought. My brain does that.
