My headcanon is that it's fiction, and we diverged from it in 1966.
The Cage, the original pilot, was filmed and screened in 1965. It was reworked into "Menagerie", which contained a lot of the original footage, but aired in 1966.
So you're saying the original timeline, well call it the Pike Prime timeline, is the real timeline, and that the show containing Kirk & Co, and everything from 66 onward, is fiction.
That's a good head canon, I like that.
