TL;DR
time and distance
If you could instantaneously teleport from Earth to a planet in the Andromeda galaxy; when you arrive, would you be in what to Earth would be the distant past? Meaning that when you looked at Earth, you would be seeing what it looked like millions of years ago?

You cannot, so the question is moot.

Even if we accept the premise the question is ill defined in that you have not specified what ”instantaneous” means.
