I think of it as Nero originally went back in time for revenge, but by acting in a manner that altered time, he created a new timeline. Like a branch growing a new branch on a tree. He was successful in extracting his revenge on Spock-Prime from his time, so mission accomplished there.
Spock-Prime originally stayed in the shadows, hoping to avoid creating a new timeline. At the end, he realized that time had irrevocably changed, and that his timeline was intact and seperate from this new timeline.
