Interesting question.
Based on
All Good Things... Q would seem to exist outside the effects of changing timelines. Unless however AGT was just a little micro-verse Q created just for Picard.
Well... wait... no. AGT is just one timeline being effected by the causality that Picard enacted. Q is just showing Picard the effects of what he did in the past based on current events.
So it doesn't really show Q being unaffected, just that what Picard did really only affected Earth. It also only really proves that Q is aware of all possibilities in his timeline.
As the new timeline is completely different all the way around, I would go so far as to say it's actually an alternate dimension/universe that is running parallel to ours ( I think I have said this before) like the mirror universe is. That would make this Q-B as Q-A would exist in the first alternate dimension discovered.
I also would suspect that Q-B wouldn't take kindly to Q coming in and mucking around in their sandbox.
However as that totally negates the "OMG WOULDN'T T BE KEWLBEANS IF Q CAME AND MESSED WITH THE NEW KIRK?>!?!111" It's obviously going to be Q.
