It's implied by a few Easter eggs that previous incarnations of Ravenloft and its domains could have existed in the current canon (most notably the domain of Klorr), and at least one author (the one who updated Valachan) outright said she wrote hers as an update to the old version rather than a reboot. But correct, there's no direct evidence that the 5E creators intended 5E Ravenloft to also be rebooted in-universe, just a fresh creative start from scratch.I find no evidence to suggest that the Dark Powers have done an in-character restructuring of the Demiplane
