We see the probe droid crash. Later we see something crash. It doesn't matter if it's the same shot from a different angle. the way it was used makes it clear that it isn't a probe droid but one of the meteors they talk about. It also makes sense to show a meteor crash to establish that meteors are fairly common and nothing to be too worried about.

It was never clear to me that the second impact was a meteorite. In fact, since it appeared to be the exact same shot as before but from a different angle, I always (since I first saw ESB when I was five) thought that it was the same probe droid impact, simply edited to show that Luke saw it as well. And it's also never explicitly stated that meteorite impacts are common on Hoth, simply that there is a lot of meteor (not meteorite) activity in the system that confounds sensors.

I also was under the impression that it was simply Luke's reaction to the same impact.
