It didn't create an alternate universe, that we know of. It had nothing to do with the afterlife universe we saw all season. They basically pulled the wool over our eyes and made us think Jughead "worked."
It didn't work as they intended it to, but it essentially worked since it transported them back to 2007 and everything went down the way it did.
I think what it basically did was just cause "The Incident" that we always heard happened at The Swan before they put the button there. The bomb definitely didn't go off normally because that would fuck the whole place up, but it probably caused a big burst of energy from that pocket.
My guess is pretty much that the explosion and the release of energy from the pocket neutralized eachother and caused a flash that sent them back to 2007. Dharma filled in the hole, finished The Hatch, and put the button there which eventually made them crash. Makes sense to me. Mindfuck for sure though.
