Look, the game makes very explicit that Classic Sonic hailed from an alternate dimension, and the true ending for Sonic Mania, which was confirmed by the guy who does Sonic games to be a direct tie-in to Sonic Forces, shows Sonic AND the Phantom Ruby being sucked into a wormhole created by the latter. That's about as explicit of confirmation as one can get and is not speculation at all. So no, it's not speculation. Is it an indirect statement? Possibly, but it most certainly isn't speculation by any means.
