Should I be worried even I did not fill the transmission until fluid spills out considering I have put the right volume of fluid from the owner's manual?

If you have 2 1/2 qts in there, and it still did not overflow, don't worry about it, you are close enough. There is a good possibility that if you added just 1/8 ounce more, you would get the overflow. At 2 1/2 qts you have plenty of oil for proper lubrication. These transmissions are not Swiss watches.
