It's definitely the exact same thing as Anastasia being the White Queen.

What are the defining characteristics of the Good Queen? She's Snow White's (biological) mother and is... well, a good queen.

What are the defining characteristics of Regina as the ruler of the United Realms? She's Snow White's (step-)mother and is... well, a good queen.

She has a slightly different relationship with Snow (see also: the whole Rapunzel, Marcus, and Cecelia debacle -- does this difference in relation mean Rapunzel isn't Lady Tremaine?) and doesn't die. That's literally the only two differences between the two.

She is a Snow White character named the Good Queen. It's really painfully straightforward.

(Comparatively, the White Queen has a completely different role than Anastasia. Honestly, Anastasia is closer to the Good Queen than the White Queen, lol. She even dies! But no one is suggesting that we remove that Anastasia is based on the White Queen, because it's obvious that she is. She's a Wonderland character named the White Queen. That makes her the White Queen.)

(Also, as for Roni being the Good Queen and not Regina, I'm pretty sure we decided to call post-United Realms Regina "Regina", since that's what she is called in her coronation and a curse has occurred, meaning she may have changed identities again.)
