Yes it does. It's exactly the same. When Thanos leaves his timeline that is a branching point in exactly the same way. The timeline where Thanos vanished in 2014 is not the original timeline (because he can't then be around in 2018) in exactly the same way the timeline where Thanos died as a baby is not the original timeline. It doesn't matter if he died 4 years ago or 400, if he's dead, he didn't snap his fingers in 2018.
They even double down on this at the New York Sanctuary and come up with a reason that the stones have to be put back.
So it ends up not only not working, but also giving them a way to save Black Widow, Tony Stark, Vision and anyone else they like that they simply can't be arsed with. Time travel back and take them out of the time line before they die. If they can do this with Thanos, Gamora, Loki, Thor's hammer and so on, they can do it with anyone.
Yea but they wouldn't be the OG versions of themselves and they would know.
In the end, you are right, but I agree with your earlier assessment, watching the movie it was written so well that I was able to just go along with it. It was told so confidently that I didn't question the logic of what I was being told.
