For instance if I got an ability that says you get this boost to charisma based checks, would that still apply to my diplomacy skill even though I don't use charisma for it?
This has recently been FAQ'ed, so this should be the answer you're looking for.
Since no such ability exists in the Paizo rules that I know of, you're going to have to come out and get specific with your question. What is the context for both parts of your question?
The trait "Clever Wordplay" can do this.
That FAQ definitely covered it.

That trait replaces Cha with Int. It does not boost Cha with Int as the OP's text implies. If that's what he's asking about, then that's all the trait does. It has no other impact. It does make the Circlet of Persuasion useless for Diplomacy.This has recently been FAQ'ed, so this should be the answer you're looking for.

His wording isn't plain enough, but between the title and his question I don't think he meant "boost" how you interpreted it. It looks like he meant it as in "the boost that int gives" as in "what if I use my int instead of cha".
I'm deciding on what faction my new char will join and I was looking at the perks each provide with the new faction cards and one from the silver crusade gave me like a plus 2 on charisma based checks when dealing with those of a good alignment, since I'll be using clever wordplay on diplomacy it got me wondering if it would apply since I use int instead.
That was what made me think of question.

This is indeed how I read the OP's question, considering he explicitly mentioned not using charisma for the check.
The OP is asking about the trait (use INT) stacking with the circlet of persuasion that gives a boost to all charisma based skill checks.
Oh I know and agree it's correct. I'm just giving an example of when it could have come up
Another area this gets weird is that changing things into Charisma checks from other checks permits you to apply the Circlet. For example, Lore Oracle using Cha instead of Int for knowledge skills, or Noble Scion of War using Cha instead of Dex for initiative.
It's the super charisma oracle. Charisma to saves and AC, initiative, skills, spells.
