I don't think it was Taj. All of the allusions to the genie in the Lamp currently occupied by Aladdin have been to the Robin William's genie from the movie (at least, that is they way that I have interpreted the allusions).

However, the best candidate for the lamp's former occupant (should my interpretation be wrong) would seem to be Sidney. Sidney was in a lamp similar to Aladdin's lamp, and Aladdin's lamp was found in Gold's shop, which would be more consistent with being Sidney's lamp as opposed to Taj's lamp. Taj's lamp would most likely still be in Wonderland, along with both of the bottles for Cyrus and Rafi.
