I think it was a blunder on the part of the writers or something because it was stated that they were frozen for over 300 years... That would mean that Khan and his crew were from the year 1959... In the original series he ruled much of Earth in the 1990s, so it's impossible for Khan to be the same as the original one.
It is most definitely an alternate universe than our own, just like it's an alternate universe of the main Star Trek universe.
As shown in the wikipedia for Khan it states this...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Noonien_Singh
In Star Trek Into Darkness, set in the alternate continuity
established in Star Trek (2009), Khan is awakened almost a decade
before the events of "Space Seed". Khan is given the false identity
"John Harrison" and coerced by Admiral Marcus into building weapons
for Starfleet in exchange for the lives of Khan's crew. He ultimately
rebels and comes into conflict with the crew of the Enterprise.
If we are led to believe that new movies are just set in a divergent timeline then Khan's origins would have stayed the same. It's more reasonable to believe that this new Star Trek is an alternate universe / alternate continuity as whole not just starting from the point where Kirk's father was killed.
