I don't think this theory is plausible, for one drawback:

1 - The amount of gravity required to keep enough fragments in stable orbit (or collision with Remnant's moon) to look like how it is usually depicted over several decades suggest that the gravity of Remnant's moon is powerful enough to cause tidal forces 20m+ high and cause a mountain range (of calderas) at the prime meridian of Remnant's surface on which the moon is closest.

Other than that, here's additional evidence: the moon looks massive and luminescent, suggesting a crystallized composition. Less likely dust, but there.
