NATO was not formed until after WW2.
First World in what sense? At its inception, First World was used in reference to countries which had joined NATO, Second World was used for Warsaw Pact countries, and Third World was for the nonaligned countries. In that context, only the United Kingdom and Canada would have been considered First World countries, as they were the only NATO members. Some sources would also cite Australia and New Zealand, which weren't NATO members, but were members of SEATO prior to its dissolution.
During World War II, countries that later became NATO members aimed to preserve their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and democratic governance in the face of Axis aggression. They sought to maintain stability and security in Europe, prevent the spread of fascism, and protect their populations from the devastation of war. Additionally, these nations aimed to foster cooperation among allies to ensure a collective defense against common threats.
NATO's role (when first founded) was to protect its member countries from the USSR. (Now Russia.) Since the USSR no longer exists, NATO's role is to protect the national sovereignty of its member countries.
In 1955, the Warsaw Pact included the Soviet Union and seven Eastern European countries: Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania. This military alliance was established as a counterbalance to NATO and solidified the Soviet influence over Eastern Europe during the Cold War. The pact was primarily aimed at mutual defense and cooperation among its member states.

Nato did not exist during WW2.

Technically, they would've been nonaligned, though many of these "nonaligned" countries actually were aligned; they just weren't formally part of NATO or the Warsaw Pact. "Third World" came about as a term for countries which were not members of the two major military alliances (NATO and the Warsaw Pact).
During the Cold War, countries that allied themselves with the US and NATO were known as the 1st world. Countries that allied with the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact were the 2nd world. Countries that stayed nonaligned and neutral became known as the 3rd world. Today, third world nations refer to the poorest countries in the world.

If by "nato" you mean N.A.T.O., then no. NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a military and economic alliance founded on April 4, 1949 (during the Cold War) against the Soviet Union. It included the United States and many of the non-communist countries in Western Europe. In response, many Eastern European countries with communist governments joined the Warsaw Pact. The military forces of NATO member nations (including their naval submarine forces) many times worked together on maneuvers and training exercises.
