I brought this up when he first made an appearance, but the reality of the situation is: we don't know. DC appears to be trying really hard not to tell us what's up with Lobo, so we shouldn't assume it's any more of than a retcon instead of jumping to conclusions that he's another character.

Until we're told otherwise, we should just stick with him being a different writer's contribution to Lobo (Prime Earth). If I've heard correctly, I've been told he was turning into old-school Lobo at the end of his series somehow anyway.
