In the recent World War Wednesday, playing Poland in the 1939 start, Romania was displayed as Legionary Romania, but the Iron Guard was only in power from Sept 1940 to Jan 1941. So what's up with that?

The events in HOI4 can happen,even in historical mode, at a slightly different time, for example Gemany declares war a few weeks later as they actually did. Most likely this was also the case with the Legionary Romania event.

No, clearly the Romanian government is already Legionary about/almost a year early.
Given other E. European states we've seen (e.g. how Poland starts with Sikorski in charge in 1936, how Hungary roflstomped Czechoslovakia in 1936 with no reaction from Yugoslavia or Romania, etc.) it seems Paradox is not too bothered with the details for E. Eur. states (political, diplomatic, industrial, army-size, etc) for the vanilla. It's regrettable, since It makes the diplomacy etc. of E. Eur. a bit off-kilter and makes historically interesting what-if scenarios unplayable while allowing for complete nonsense. On the other hand, their approach of balancing the game for majors first and then filling in the details makes perfect sense.
We can only hope DLCs will come in time, fixing such things. The Poland DLC is a good sign--it seems they intended to release it soon after the vanilla game (and the delay in release of the game made them simultaneous in the end). Again, a reasonable approach if followed through well.
Thanks, Crush3r, for raising the issue. If we're persistent, I think the good folks at Paradox will spend their time filling out the game to help it achieve its full potential. If not (or if you're impatient), there's always modding, which they're clearly supporting very well.

Also heard a question on WWW, haven't found an answer yet.
Start as Romania, become communist. Is USSR still going to take Bassarabia(have it as a core)?

It should avoid a takeover since the USSR wanted to use it as a staging ground for a political push into the Balkans. An early communist takeover would negate that motivation, even though a somewhat independent communist regime would still not be to Stalin's liking.
I hope that the Little Entente / East Euro politics get at least a basic framework come launch, since one small change in govt (or lack of) could have forced a lot of countries into the Allies early (let's not forget that Turkey had an independence guarantee on Romania right up to the war, and it was confirmed even in 1940), Yugoslavia could have joined the Allies, and Romania might have likely defended Poland if the coup in 1940 hadn't happened.
