Well, it depends on your theory of time travel. Some say that time traveling leaves "shadows" of its existence. Therefore, whether or not Ben had any inclination to time travel in the revised timeline, the time traveling would already have happened.

And then there's also the theory of a fixed timeline, in which all effects of time travel have already been implemented, and there's no way to change anything.
