As far as I can tell, from my memory when the pirates attacked Zebes, they wiped out everyone there, so the previous Chozo civilization on that world was destroyed by the mean pirates.
As far as Meta Ridley in Prime, I was under the impression that it was the same Ridley from the space station, and more to the point, it was also the same Ridley from Metroid 1/Zero Mission. Reading those notes in the space station about it, I always understood it to mean they managed to recover a near dead Ridley and save its life via cybernetic enhancements, and now its angry at Samus in particular. Remember that only Torian actually exploded. Norfair likely was left SOMEWHAT untouched, I think. On to Metroid 3, I always thought that Ridley had been restored via bioengineering, like cloning organs to remake Ridley as it originally was (though that was defeated by Samus before so I'm not sure why they'd go to the effort :D). After Prime, I get the impression that the pirates will NOT let Ridley die, remaking the poor space dragon not once but twice now.
As for Fusion, I don't quite remember but I THINK that the "Ridley" there is just another member of that species, X-ified.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
