The verb Rencontrer is an Avoir verb. So is it correct to use it with être in passé composé ?

Nous nous sommes rencontrés en janvier 2008.

Yes it is correct. You must use être in this case because   the object of the verb is the same as its subject.

Then the  usage is referred to as  a "reflexive verb".

Other examples might  be ""nous nous sommes demandé" ,  "ils se sont battus"  and"ne vous inquiétez -pas" .
