Spoilers ahead! Kinda complicated but short answer no, he existed in a dream Zanarkand that is a replica of a city that actually existed 1000 years ago, but he didn’t. I’m fuzzy on the details but you could Google it for more info
He’s an Aeon, like the ones Yuna summons, just made in the image of someone who lived 1000 years before, and Tidus being unaware of the fact. But the in-game theory of time travel comes from Tidus’ Zanarkand being a bustling city while Spira’s hasn’t been so for a millennia, and is further fed by Wakka, who, listening to the theory, gets the stage of denial from grief triggered, thinking his brother, who was felled by Sin, must be some_when_ else instead.
Auron came from Spira, was killed by Yunalesca after Braska summoned his final Aeon (he became disillusioned with the religion after losing both of his friends at its hands, and attacked her), and was never sent to the farplane by a summoner.
He then traveled to dream Zanarkand to watch over Tidus as he had promised Jecht.
Aeons are weaponized ghosts, in short. Auron, after dying, became a ghost, not an Aeon (that’d require someone capable of tinkering with ghosts and someone to summon the manipulated ghost) and found his way to the illusion (Dream) Zanarkand to honor a request from Tidus’ father. And the Dream Zanarkand is part of the summoning that keeps both Tidus and Sin alive.
Didn’t Tidus time travel to the future or something at the beginning after Sin attacked?

Huh. So Auron is also an Aeon? I haven’t proper finish it so i can’t remember this.
No, but Jecht was.
Auron came from Spira, was killed by Yunalesca after Braska summoned his final Aeon (he became disillusioned with the religion after losing both of his friends at its hands, and attacked her), and was never sent to the farplane by a summoner.
