Of course, there's the question of just how Omega got the ability to interact with the rift when it was built on an unsundered planet, but it's possible that it evolved the ability after arriving on Etheirys.
It's not clear exactly how this Rift interacts with the other Rift, or if they're even different (much like how the space between Earth and the moon and the space between the Earth and Mars are both 'space'), but both of them do exist. After all, Gilgamesh is more loudly 'the Gilgamesh from FFV' here than he is in most other FFs. And in the English translation, the Kefka minion confirms Dissidia NT is somehow canon.
