One of the big conceits of STO is that, despite being in the same universe as the shows, the events that led up to the 2009 movie took place - Spock tried and failed to save Romulus, and then he and Nero both disappeared into a red matter black hole. The Hobus supernova is a pretty major event in the game's story.
Spock tries to save Romulus in 2387 and gets sucked into an alternate dimension.
Star Trek Online takes place in 2409.
You can read what happen between 2379 and 2409 in the Path to 2409 on Memory Beta.
specific stuff that proves that sto has stuff movies and tv shows referenced into it
As I said, a lot of that is covered in the Path to 2409. In this timeline Picard is 102 years old and living on Earth - after spending many years as the Ambassador to Vulcan after he left Starfleet. You need to read the Path, and even the official STO novel, The Needs of the Many, to get an idea of everything that's changed in 30 years.
all this is in sto based on movies
a lot of the ship models from sto are dead on accurate in looks
and functionality from movies and shows
romulans being destroyed despite spock's effort
wills clone transporter accident
the doomsday monster is referenced from the old series.
alot of the races are from series tv and or movies
worm hole

the story lines are different but this game isn't recreating

Naomi Wildman, from Voyager, is now the Commander of
Deep Space K-7 in STO
uniforms
borg implants like seven of nine and hue i have one like hue
abilities like re modulate shields,auxiliary so structural are in sto
ranking system admiral etc

The Hobus supernova is a pretty major event in the game's story.
Correction. CBS owns everything Star Trek outside of the the new JJ TreK movies and a few STar Trek Animated series episodes.
Guardian of Forever
Salt Vampires
Doomsday Machine
Devidians
Crystalline Entity
Section 31
Alexander and Worf
Naomi Wildman and Icheb
Tash Yar and Empress Sela
A plethora of races, including those that needed far more air time like the Tholians

M'ossa - Ferasan Science Officer - KDF [MAIN]
Formerly known on the forums as Remissus
Pretty much every mission references something in the shows. For example, just playing the first front of the Federation campaign, you see:
Orion pirates
That Klingon cult that thought Miral Paris was their messiah
The whole Klingon augment virus forehead thing from Enterprise (I didn't say every reference was a great one)
Gorn throwing rocks
Klingons freaking out about a new Federation weapon and kidnapping scientists
Human augments
Devidians going back in time to eat people
Bones making an "I'm a doctor" joke and Scotty being a drunk womanizer
Species 8472 infiltrating P'jem
Nausicans challenging the definition of intelligent
The Guardian of Forever
A Doomsday Machine
And that's not even a comprehensive list for those missions, which is only about 20% of the total Starfleet campaign, and not even touching the Romulan and Klingon campaigns, or endgame content - S8's upcomming missions extensively reference Omega and Distant Origin, for example.
I think that pretty much answers the OP doesnt it? JJ star trek is an 'alternate' universe but with only some minor things being the same as the rest of the series. I mean if it takes place when Kirk was young do the events in JJST match the rest of the series and movies? Vulcan gets blown up in JJST1 IIRC. if that happens then how could the events in the rest of the series have happened? JJST pretty much gives the big middle finger to the continuity of the rest of the series and movies.
ToS > TNG > DS9 > Voyager TV series are all along the same timeline. If you watch episodes from each series its pretty clear since they reference each other all the time. Same with the movies based on the TV series, starting with ST 1 The Motion Picture going all the way to ST10. ST1-6 being based off of the ToS cast, ST7 being a mix of ToS/TNG and ST8-10 being TNG cast with very little Voyager thrown in. I cant comment for Enterprise TV series cause i've never watched it. But i'm assuming it also falls in line with the TOS > TNG > etc.
