I've Never thought of it like that. Ive always regarded it as an actual meteor the second time hoth is hit (as nothing happens after the impact - not that Luke checks, granted. Perhaps, some sort of random meteor activity around Hoth, when the probes are launched would justify Lukes reasoning?), even though the same shot is used. But im not buying this time shifting thing at all..

 

I have always thought of it as being the same impact seen twice, it never occurred to me that it would be anything else, the script seems to support this viewpoint although it mentions Luke noticing smoke from the impact but not actually seeing the impact, but it is clear that it is the same impact, (I realise this doesn't matter and Ady is not following the script, he is just making it the best it can be even if that disagrees with the script which is just fine with me)

 

The Script said:

EXTERIOR: GALAXY -- PLANET HOTH

A Star Destroyer moves through space, releasing Imperial probe
robots from its underside.
One of these probes zooms toward the planet Hoth and lands
on its ice-covered surface. An explosion marks the point of
impact.

EXTERIOR: HOTH -- METEORITE CRATER -- SNOW PLAIN -- DAY

A weird mechanical sound rises above the whining of the
wind. A strange probe robot, with several extended sensors,
emerges from the smoke-shrouded crater. The ominous mechanical
probe floats across the snow plain and disappears into the
distance.

EXTERIOR: PLAIN OF HOTH -- DAY

A small figure gallops across the windswept ice slope. The
bundled rider is mounted on a large gray snow lizard, a
Tauntaun. Curving plumes of snow rise from beneath the
speeding paws of the two-legged beast.
The rider gallops up a slope and reins his lizard to a
stop. Pulling off his protective goggles, Luke Skywalker
notices something in the sky. He takes a pair of
electrobinoculars from his utility belt and through them sees
smoke rising from where the probe robot has crashed.
The wind whips at Luke's fur-lined cap and he activates a
comlink transmitter. His Tauntaun shifts and moans nervously
beneath him.
