If Omega runs a simulation that includes it predicting an event and then saying, "I have predicted this event," there is no lie.

Does the simulated Omega runs its own simulation in order to make its prediction? And does that simulation run its own simulation too?

The simulated prediction doesn't need to be accurate. Omega just doesn't make the prediction to the real you if it is proven inaccurate for the simulated you.
