The above would be true under the classic understanding of Marvel time travel from, the basis for all future Handbooks and this Wiki: Traveling to the past doesn't change it, it creates an alternate timeline. So Fuzzy Beast traveled into the past of his reality, Earth-616. Upon arrival, however, his influence on events created a separate timeline, Earth-TRN240. Meaning, yes, an Earth that no longer has the O5 should exist in the multiverse. Well, the OLD multiverse.

left us with the impression that worlds in the multiverse only exist now if Reed, Franklin, and the Molecule Man created them. We know they've recreated several previously existing universes (Spider-Gwen, whatever passes for 2099 these days, etc.), but it is at least implied that some universes, like the Ultimate Universe, have not been recreated at all.

So my impression is Jean's right, and Hank's right: there WAS a world without X-Men out there before, but Hank can't find it because it no longer exists in the multiverse. The O5 X-Men are from Earth-TRN240, but in this incarnation of the multiverse there is no Earth-TRN240. Like the Reboot Legion after Legion of 3 Worlds.
