Closer Alternate Reality than Timeline, but we don't know for certain if he is or isn't. They do share enough features that the first Ex-Machina to meet Sora immediatly mistook him for Riku, and it took Sora an immense amount of time to finally convince the Machina he wasn't Riku (complicated by the fact every Ex-Machina, including their male leader, wants to jump his bones). That being the case, it would be strange that entities such as Ex-Machina would be incapable of telling Sora/Riku apart if they weren't connected in some manner.
