I think we should put aside writers' comments and look directly at canon.

Wish!Robin was real enough to go back to the "real" world.

Robin and the Queen went back to the Wish Realm, which still existed.

And now we have Wish!Hook with a past in the Wish!Realm. All of which seem to point towards 'yes the wr is a real place' even if a lot of people hate it.

I like the theory of "when the wr was created it created its own history" or "when Emma entered the wr she filled wish!Emma's shoes" because they are less messy.

Of course the elephant in the room now is "if the WR is real, then Wish!Snow and Charmingn were real, so Regina killed two real people"
