It could be.
But when they were last seen, that was in the late 70s. If you recall from way back in the first season, Jack said the corpses must be at least around 50 or 60 years old because of the deterioration of the clothing, and the late 70s would have been less than 30 years prior to when the corpses were found.
That could have just been a factual inconsistency on the writers' part but I don't think it is.
Remember, the incident sent all the time travelers back to the present, I think that would include Rose and Bernard.
Even if they weren't sent to the present and were killed by the explosion that creates the alternate timeline, they would have been completely obliterated, as in no corpses left behind, remember, in the alternate timeline the island is completely underwater. And besides, these corpses were found in the main timeline so I don't think that's what it is. It's pretty obvious that in the main timeline the island hasn't been destroyed.
