The fact is, the Ancient One says, "The Infinity Stones create what you experience as the flow of time. Remove one of the stones and that flow splits." She doesn't say, "Travel in time and that flow splits." But the time split wherever the stones are moved or not. Most of time branches created in the movie are not caused by the Stones, but from action of the Avengers in the past.

''Thor recovers his hammer, Mjolnir, by taking it from an earlier timeline. So that raises the question — McFEELY Does that screw that other Thor? MARKUS Is he killed by Dark Elves? McFEELY I think we’re leaning on, when you just take a baseball mitt, you didn’t ruin that kid’s life. When you took Mjolnir, we accept that that movie happened. Because time is irrefutable. MARKUS You can make any number of what ifs. The Dark Elves would have arrived, intending to get the Aether. It’s what they came for and it was no longer there. McFEELY So they build a paradise together. MARKUS They all got married.'' - from Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely interview.

Altough they are clearly joking, the still underline the fact that the 2013 timeline will still not affect the present even if changed, because of the laws of time stated by Banner.
