it seems Zeref became a good guy and that dragon will be the next boss. and it's possible he meant the world needs serious changes.

I believe Zeref means that, since acnologia has been awakened it would destroy the rest of the world. Tenrou island was just destroyed first because the people who awakened it was at the place. Acnologia would probably return to destroy Magnolia next
Well first and for dragons have a way longer lifespan than humans, at least based on how they talk about them it's pretty much indicated. So a period of 7 years is probably nothing to them. From a human point of view that's a long period, but from a dragon's point of view, who are probably centuries old, it's like fleeting moments. This is also indicated by the fact that in the year 777 several dragons disappeared and were preparing themselves for something.
It's a bit unclear exactly as why Acnologia came to Tenryou Island, however I doubt it was just a coincidence. So if that was just the start, it could be very well the end of an era as the worst has yet to come.

Zeref said it was Hades that 'summoned' Acnologia.
And since Hades was at Tenrou Island(or near), Acnologia would go there first.

As I said that's incredibly vague. How did he summon Acnologia then exactly? In a previous chapter Zeref said wicked thoughts. Is that then how he summoned him? That "summoning" is very relative.Zeref said it was Hades that 'summoned' Acnologia.
And since Hades was at Tenrou Island(or near), Acnologia would go there first.

Zeref punished Hades for 2 things.
1) Making him forget the weight of life and
2) Summoning Acnolgia

From that page given, it is safe to say the Zeref had once slaughtered many people in different eras, however the war 400 years ago caused him to discover and learn about the value of human life. Hence, Hades also has no value for human life. Since Hades has no value for life, Zeref could have possible saw his old self in Hades thus causing Acnologia to be summoned.

That page says Acnologia 'once again' disappeared from sight. This may imply that Acnologia was the thing that destroyed 'eras' when Zeref still had no value for life. That is why Acnologia has only reappeared after Zeref forgets the value of life.

On that page, Zeref states that if he were to forget the weight/value of human life then he should be able to use his magical power the the full extent. Zeref also says Acnologia was summoned due to Hades' evil ambitions.
Now, due to Zeref forgetting the weight of life due to Hades also having no value for it, Acnologia re-appears once again to end the 'era'.

When Zeref kills Zancrow he utters Acnologia. I would say that is what called him. The reason he says Hades wicked thoughts summoned it is because Zeref was peacefully hiding until GH came and tried to take him with them. GH's greed and ambition caused Zeref to summon Acnologia. At least I kind of think so.

I agree. For me too, I found the upcoming of Acnologia not well-defined. I'm pretty sure that the dragons are the ultimate villains of FT.
Zeref is the Dark Mage and by saying that this marks the end of an era is surely right - if he considers the future upcoming events. He surely defines that this era where Mage "redefined" is going to end as the "new era" marks the rise of Dragons. I believe too that the disappearance of those dragons are no coincidence. The attack of Acnologia was something "planned" or even "destined". He may have only destroyed an island but this was for starters and for me, destroying the most promising Guild is a very alertful starter.
Personally, I don't think Hades summoned Acnologia. I think he only knew that that revolt of Dragons was approaching and on sensing that, Zeref punished him. Now whether, there's some other mastermind behind those dragons uprising is plausible but it might also be that all those dragons are acting by themselves.
My guess is that there's a mastermind who made those dragons flee in Year X777 and in Year X784, sent Acnologia to Tenrou Island to send an alert of things to come. So yeah, coming back, to your question, if Zeref also sensed the same thing, then he might be right as the Dragons will create a new era most surely. After all, Acnolgia destroyed Fairy Tail alone, now imagine an army of Dragons...
