It appears this is the first time this mystery has been revealed since the world began. Do you suppose it is a reference to 'my gospel', earlier in the verse?

Until then, it was believed that only Jews could enter the kingdom of heaven.
However, when Jesus called Saul/Paul to the ministry, He told Paul that he was to take the gospel first to the Jews and then to the gentiles.
The gentiles could now be grafted into the inheritance of Abraham.

Paul's gospel reveals the mystery kept secret for long ages: justification and salvation through faith, with all the implications for Jews and Gentiles that Paul has developed in the letter.

No, the mystery was also revealed to John the beloved and he wrote what he was allowed to tell about it in the book of Revelation.
Abraham was also allowed to see the "mystery" before he died his fleshly death.
A few of the apostles were allowed a glimpse of the "mystery" before Jesus actually died on the cross and was resurected.
These are the instances I remember off the top of my head, and there very well could be more.
In all cases, these men were not allowed to tell all of what they had seen. That is why it remains a mystery.

My gospel merely means my message. The mystery is the plan of salvation for Jews and gentiles. All through Jesus Christ.
Romans 16
25Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,
26but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;
27to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.

The mystery is supposed to refer to salvation. Although that seems a stretch to me.

If I told you the secret it would not be a secret anymore. That was always the rule for secrets since kindergarten.
