>If I arrive back on Earth just after I went poof, then I'm pretty sure I went backwards in time a couple of minutes.
How?
Teleport in this context is an instant transportation process. but the image of you going poof is not ists a speed of light.
Like If I throw a ball at a target first THEN Fire a gun at the same target, the bullet will get there first but it didn't time travel to do that.
Lets assume that the teleport process is a wormhole or a folding of space process that reduces the distance between the two locations rather than making you go faster.
You could step through onto mars and back again and not see yourself when you arrive back but then go back to mars again and see yourself disappear and re-appear twice. still no time travel. You're just watching a delayed image.
