It is confirmed that the fight won't be exactly the same as it is now. They way you encounter the Primal is part of the fight. They could easily give you the same achievement for a different strategical fight and do something like "Ifrit summons a circle of flames around you" (Bowl of Embers) when you engage him in the open world and enter the instance.
