Paul had not yet visited Rome when he wrote the epistle to the Romans.
Romans 1:9, 10 - For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. [NKJV]

Romans and Colossians
The earliest letter in the bible is the Letter by Paul to the church in Corinth.
When Paul wrote to the Romans, he had not yet visited the Roman church. Paul also wrote a letter to the Colossians, but it has not been established whether or not he ever visited the church at Colossae.
St. Paul wrote two letters to the church of Corinth, now known as 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians.
The Apostle Paul wrote most of the New Testament as letters to different churches. For instance: Galatians was written to a church in Galatia; Phillippians to a church in Phillippi; Corinthians to a church in Corinth, etc.
When the bible was written there were no church buildings, churches were groups of Christan believers and Paul wrote letters to these 'churches'.
the church
The literary forms are different. Acts is written in the form of history. The Epistles are written as letters to church communities or to individuals. Both tell us something about St. Paul and his preaching. Each has a different point of view. Acts was written by St. Luke, a companion of St. Paul on part of his missionary journeys, while the Epistles were written by St. Paul himself.
