Sounds like it could be possible Rian Johnson is administering some word-jitsu by saying "He's his own person". He could have slammed the door shut by saying "No, Ezra Bridger has no connection to the character Del Toro is playing in this movie", but left it ambiguous.
If he IS a Dark Jedi, I find it more likely that he actually could be Ezra with a new identity, a smuggler type of persona based on his "buddy" Hondo Ohnaka.
