Iphone stolen. Am I able to erase my info with a new phone activated?

My iphone 5 got stolen a few days ago and I immediately put it into lost mode with a sound to go off and a message to appear telling him/her to return it. I got a couple of locations tracked but the theif would keep the phone off. I have iOS 7 with a passcode on the phone and Find my phone activated so I know the phone is pretty much useless and they won't be able to get in. I came to terms that the phone is long gone and I probably won't be getting it back so I went to t-mobile to get a new SIM card for another phone and clicked "Erase iphone" on iCloud. Since the stolen phone is offline, it says the data will be erased once it is connected to the internet. Without much thought I put the new SIM in the phone activating it but when it asked to log in to iCloud, I thought of something that I wasn't sure of so I thought I'd ask. My question is since the new SIM is activated, if I log into my icloud restoring the new phone to whatever I have saved on there, will the information on the stolen phone still be erased? Since the SIM card on the stolen phone is inactivated now, there is no cellular network for it to connect to , and the only way it would be erased is if it was connected to wifi, correct? But if I log into icloud on the new phone, will it log out of the old one and not erase my pictures, contacts, data, etc? Sorry for the huge paragraph, I just want to make sure all my data will still be able to be erased, even if I activate and start using a new phone (which is also an iphone 5). Responses will be appreciated. Thanks!

The find my iPhone services work based on the MIME and serial number, not your carrier's data... therefore the deletion should work if the device is ever connected to a network.
You can have several devices with the same Apple ID so you also don't need to worry about unwillingly logging the other device out.
