At the moment, it's considered to be within the same universe. This will remain so until some kind of official source says otherwise.

It's not within the same universe. The books also completely ignore Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and make Spider-Man already well known immediatelly after the battle of New York (when Parker was just 11 years old) while we all know that Parker become Spider-Man just six months before the Avengers Civil War, three and a half years after the battle of New York. The only thing that actually connects the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the universe of those two books is the Battle of New York. Everything else is different.
