One of the many reasons that I really like
this story is that it explains that the Superboy TV series (and the tie-in comic book) were in reality all short stories written by the Post-Crisis, Earth-DC Clark Kent. Even though there was never an in-costume Superboy in the DCU, Clark still created the character and used his private Superboy stories as a forum in which to play out his own thought processes.
So before he revealed his powers to Lana in Byrne's
Man of Steel and in Loeb/Sale's
Superman For All Seasons, he had come to the realization, through his Superboy stories, that he had to do it.
In short, to answer your question, yes, I believe that the other diagetically real parts of the story do show the "mainstream" Earth Clark.
