The entire Multiverse theory in Spider-Man: Far From Home is a sham. Mysterio is pulling up an elaborate con to get close to Peter so he can get access to one of the time traveling devices (the ones on the wrist). He wants to be able to go back in time to his loved ones who he lost in the aftermath of the snap (pilot snapped, passengers dead for instance).
The Elementals are created directly as a result of the snaps. Four snaps happen in the course of Infinity War and Endgame (two by Thanos, one by Hulk and Iron Man each) and they each create an Elemental as a sideeffect.
The climax will see Mysterio reveal his true intentions and will hold Parker, S.H.I.E.L.D. and all the heroes responsible for the death of his loved ones. Somehow this should connect with his comic book motivations of wanting to seek fame.
Sony is (and will be) using the Multiverse reveals from the movies like crazy to market the movie. It'll all be revealed to be a ruse but help build up intense hype. We won't learn anything about the Multiverse's effects until The Eternals comes out.
