Power Girl hasn't been that since Infinite Crisis; and restoring her status as “the cousin of the original Earth-2 Superman” while downplaying/ignoring the “granddaughter of Arion” thing was Johns' doing. He's the last person I'd expect to give Helena Wayne's backstory a Bertinelli-like twist.
(And speaking of Bertinelli: while I'm off the opinion that she's different enough from Wayne that the two could easily coexist, I suspect that if we ever see Bertinelli again, it won't be Johns' doing.)

Have to wait and see what Earth Huntress is from.
I hope not. She is distinct enough from Helena Wayne to hold her own. But the last time that they brought a Helena Wayne back, they did so by claiming that Helena Bertinelli was merely an alias that she had been using. See New 52.
And again, I'm saying that I think that if we see Bertinelli again it won't be Johns' doing. I think that at this moment, she's in Limbo — not in publication anywhere, out of sight and out of mind. Not formally erased; just not someone that Johns is likely to use any time soon.

Flashpoint is distinct from new 52, right up until the end. From what I understand, the original ending would have restored the original timeline, not set up the new 52. As well, Flashpoint is the setup for Flashpoint Beyond, which is the setup for new golden age, which is the setup for Justice Society of america.

Helena Bertinelli isn't erased, she showed up some books months ago.
I'm sure you're right about Bertinelli not being erased. But we're at a point right now where everything is in flux; one what happened a couple months ago doesn't mean much.

Depends on Flashpoint Beyond.
But Dark Crisis has no reboot in store, only restoring the infinite multiverse.
Correct. But as you say, it depends on Flashpoint beyond. And more to the point, we know that Helena Wayne will be arriving with a warning just a moment too late; and that timeline shenanigans will ensue. And further, but this will be the result, indirectly at least, of the Flashpoint Beyond.
Again, I don't expect him to erase Bertinelli; but it's still a little too early to absolutely rule it out. I just don't think it's his style.

It doesn't take much to fall into deeper consuming speculation. Now, Bertinelli and Wayne are two different characters in more than just being two people. They have differing styles and personalities as well as backgrounds. No reason Bertinelli needs to go anywhere. Name change, maybe, but I'm cool with two Huntresses. Where the confusion comes into things is the nu52 Helena Wayne who hung with Damian. I suspect many fans would just like to see the nu52 Earth 2 cast fade into obscurity. There are questions we're asking that may not be answered and those are going to keep on our minds. Yes, I know us. Me, I have a tough time understanding why Batman isn't concerned with multiple interdimensional daughters of his popping up.
I guess our best option is to wait until JSA actually comes out and we see what the situation is.
Have Bertinelli and Wayne ever met?
I’ll don the mask and wear the cape
If I am super, how can I wait?
