Time machine

Read somewhere that if someone is watching earth from some far off planet from some other far off solar system, they will see dinosaurs, since light from the earth took such a long time to travel. 
That set me thinking...if someone from that planet manages to teleport himself in a jiffy to the earth, he will see the humans and their achievements, instead of the dinosaurs. 
Would it not be so very confusing...the further you are in terms of distance, you a proportionately further into the future.
Conversely it means that the furthest Stars which you see in the sky, you are actually watching time which has long past...

Is that a principle for some future time machine...
