No, it's definitely an alternate timeline. G'raha was there for it - he knows which world it happened in, and it was the Source.

And I don't think there's a "rather large precedent" for multiple copies of the same world in a way that everything in the last 12,000 years since the Sundering would be, if not perfectly identical, then sufficiently similar to mistake another shard for an alternate timeline of this one.

We only have a sample of two observed worlds, but they are utterly different beyond the basic geography. I'm not sure how this is supposed to set a precedent for the opposite.

That was already well resolved at that point.

From memory they were trying to develop the anti-tempering spell.
