What you discuss is a question of decision theory, whether there is something besides the apparent environment to care about, and that hardly depends on the way physics is. One doesn't need little "exists" tags on hypotheticals in order to care about them. They probably help, but are not a defining factor, certainly not for the decision theory, before you take into account the finer details of the content of morality.
