He's already said on Twitter that this is something that he heard WILL be happening. Of course, there is always the possibility that it could be wrong, but like I said, he has a good track record, so I choose to believe him for now.
That being said, he's also said he DOESN'T know who the character is. He NEVER claimed he was playing another version of Quicksilver, even though people obviously jumped to that conclusion. I personally think it's another character, because I don't see Feige rushing like this to introduce the X-Men (much less a version of the X-Men that wasn't even created by him) in the MCU when we don't even have a release date for Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool 3 yet, which is the ONE thing we know they will be keeping from FOX. I think we will get the X-Men some years from now, with a slow build-up to it. The FOX-Men movies had a lot of popular/good actors that were bound to end up in the MCU one day, and Evan Peters specially has a history of appearing in american TV, so he was always one of the biggest candidates to get a Marvel TV role. It's a little weird, but I think it's perfectly possible that it was just a coincidence.
Anyway, this just makes me more excited for WandaVision, because it really shows there is still so much we don't know about the show. I'm really looking forward to be surprised!
