Seems like it was meant to be canon, but later it was retconned out of existence. But rather than just pretend it never happened, Kojima tried to make it a graceful retcon, so they drop a few lines about it in the vaguest of terms without getting into specifics.

So in that sense, it's canon but it doesn't matter, which pretty much means it's not canon.

In GZ, there's a mission where you' re supposed to look for the logos of all the previous games in the series, but if it's non-canon, or in a different canon (like Acid), it doesn't count and Miller says something like "I don't remember that one." This is the treatment PO receives also.
