The flag on Iwo Jima has been authenticated. Your link to the group lunch confirms it was staged, although the workers in the photo were actually workers on the RCA building. Not that it takes away from the pic, as those involved that could be found, were very proud to have taken the pic, as well they should be.
Your misconception on the Iwo Jima flag raising arises from the photographer admitting subsequent photos with the flag were staged, but not the raising of the flag.
