I concur that it is a different universe than Earth-92131. I watched the X-Men cartoon start to finish when it aired and read a few issues of the X-Men Adventures series before it was rebranded to Adventures of the X-Men. While the three volumes of that series were adaptations of the cartoon episodes they took a lot of creative liberties in depicting the stories.

One comparison I recall is the ending to and the episode Deadly Reunion. The comic book version has a bloodier and more violent conflict between Wolverine and Sabertooth (and I mean BLOODY, that's what made it cool to me as a kid, and was thoroughly disappointed seeing the cartoon episode and finding it wasn't as gruesome) Also that same adaptation shows Magneto hiding out on Asteroid M, which I don't believe was established in the cartoon until later seasons (if at all). So yeah, while the X-Men and Spider-Man Adventures books were adapted from the episodes of the cartoon they make some liberal changes and embellishments. Often grabbing from 616 continuity for ideas to flesh out details that weren't developed in the cartoon. It is certainly a Earth-92131 variant but not the same reality.

I also suspect that this will be the case with X-Men '92, unless they explain how the old status quo was re-established after Graduation Day episode.
