Both Regina and Rumple are the ones the audience has known for years. For all we know, Belle and Gideon live in Hyperion Heights now.

As for Wish!Hook, I am still ambivalent towards the twist. It is a rather cheap and convoluted move, but it does give the writers freedom. They are not bound by Emma's memory, when writing his storyline. What if, like Hook, Rumple is a doppelganger in this town? What if Weaver is actually Wish Realm Rumple as well. Don't forget, he was still alive in that realm last time we saw him. It's veruy likely the real rumple is still back in Storybrooke with Belle and Gideon, and this Rumple is the other one too.
