Well, you know my opinion on the topic. I'll stick to what A&E told us, there is only one Worse Place. So I think we should keep the situation, or maybe making it clearer.

I personally think your idea is trying to play with the dialogue, but - again it is my personnal opinion - it is very clear. Cruella says clearly: "anyone goes there anymore." I don't think she would use "there" if there was more than one worse place. Her words are clear enough to me.

Beginning from this point, the rest is simple. If we follow the dialogue, if a tumb is cracked then the soul has been sent to the Worse Place. It happened with Auntie Em, her tumb was cracked. To me, it is enough to say that - somehow - the Acheron is definitely link/a part of that Worse Place. So, all the others souls who went there too. Moreover, we can use the recent events from 521 for this idea. Even if the souls are still in the river, they are clearly different from what they look in the Underworld. Look at that skeleton (here). He is different from Arthur or Hook, so to me, it is also a proof that what is in the Acheron is different from what is in the Underworld. So, the worse place.

Yes, the Acheron's source is in the Underworld. But, at multiple times in the arc, everyone keeps saying that no one must touch the river. So clearly, it is different from the rest of the Underworld. It can appears there, without being entirely a part of it.

Sure, it looks different from the Fiery Cave. But it is a world. A world for dead. As all the others worlds we saw in the show from now, they are different places, different entrances and different looks of the world.

And again, that interview from A&E. Even if they are confusing sometimes, I think they know their show. This is what they say: "The Underworld is kind of a weigh station between two other worlds." (http://tvline.com/2016/02/29/once-upon-a-time-season-5b-preview-underworld-emma-hook-hades/) These worlds are Mount Olympus, and the Worse Place. So, we know for sure there is only one worse place.

Again, if we add this info with Cruella's dialogue and Auntie Em's, we have clearly enough of evidence to say that the souls in the Acheron are in this Worse Place. Again, that's not because it looks different that it is not the same. Arendelle looks different from Agrabah, it is still the FTL.

Yes, the situation is confusing, yes we could try to make it clearer. But, with the interview and the evidences from the show, I deeply think it would be a huge mistake to pretend that the souls in the Acheron are not in the Worse Place, because we have a lot of evidences pointing in that way.

One last thing, we can rationalize everything about the Worse Place. To me, we can't say because they are in the river, they are not in the Worse Place. Clearly, we don't have all possible info about this place. But again, with what we know, we have more than enough of evidences to prove that what is in the Acheron is in the Worse Place.

But of course, we can be opened to make it clearer on our pages :)
