Ambassador, if you have a choice between doing a True Reset, or loading your previous save.. doesn't that meant that right at his moment, you're not IN your previous save?

You're in the Title Screen, and since Flowey is warning you about the choice you're about to make, you're not in normal game space. And you do load your previous save, you'll find that Asriel is still there at the starting area of the game.
