There is no faster way to do that in GIMP currently. You can set a
shortcut to the menu command that activates selection stroking, but
you still have to confirm stroking settings.

Alternatively, you could use Inkscape that has a nice text tool and
easy drawing of geometric shapes.

It really depends on a few factors like whether the circles should be
pretty or geometrically correct. If you only need those circles around
text for yourself, brush/pencil could do the work.
