The door frame is usually put in first so the plasterer has something to plaster up to. If you are using a high quality timber frame that you don't want to get covered in plaster ie varnishing instead of painting, you could put in a lining of something like mdf and then fix the frame into this after the plasterer has finished. This I believe is common practice in America but not seen often here.
