I've never seen Alternate Counter-parts to the Infinity Gems,
in other words, Gems in an Alternate Universe.
Only one set of Gems, the 616 Gems.
The only other set of relevant Gems we've seen are the one's from Two Diverged Universes, these are Realities that only exist because they are exact copies of 616, somewhere along the lines in the Timestream a divergence takes place because of a change in History that Alters what actually happened in the original event within the 616 Reality.
This is why we saw the Gems again assembled after the Tibunal's second restriction on the IG, because it took place in Two Realities that were in a perpetual Time loop awaiting they're moment to exist, otherwise they're just "Mirrors" of 616 with no identity to Reality.
So when the Surfer succeeded snatching the IG from Thanos' hand, that Universe was instantly created, as it Diverged into it's own Reality, because now the same exact events that took place in the IG series in the 616 Universe, will now change, because Surfer now has the same exact IG from the 616 Reality, but since this never happened in the actual 616 Reality, this New story takes on a life of it's own, it becomes a separate Universe, a different IG, with it's own History now.
The Real 616 Gems were united again, even after the Tribunal's ruling, but by a creature (Rune) that originated from outside the Prime Multiverse (Ultraverse at the time) this may have something to do with the reason, the LT alluded to this idea in that arc.
