I thought this had been settled ages ago in this thread, but to reitterate:
All of the characters are pre-flashpoint, only they don't remember. The whole point of Rebirth is that some mysterious force stole ten years away from everyone and altered other aspects of reality after Barry changed history in Flashpoint. The only reason pre-flashpoint Superman and Lois exist with Jon is because they were outside of the multiverse when the changes occurred, so N52 Superman and Lois were created by that force to replace them. This will all be covered in March during Superman Reborn.
Yes, for most of the characters, N52 is still a big part of influencing who they are, but Wally breaking back through from the Speed Force has steadily caused a ripple effect that is helping the characters steadily regain elements of what they had lost when the N52 started, such as their prior personalities, their past relationships and whatnot. It's also helping certain characters come to the realisation their whole history up to this point have been manipulations of a greater evil...for example, Wonder Woman has discovered her entire New 52 backstory was a lie.
