They're essentially opposites, sort of like the constant Superman references did not make Seinfeld part of DC, but Time Warner did give NBC license to make those references. As far as Into the Spider-Verse goes, it was part of Venom's post-credit scenes, establishing it's within the Sonyverse; meanwhile, E-616 is considered artistic license akin to an Easter egg alias, not explicitly meaning Earth-616 as some might assume.
