RegionPlot by default has PlotRange -> Full, so the x range is 1.02
and the inset with width 1.02 will be aligned exactly:
PolarPlot[Cos[2 t], {t, 0, 2 Pi}, PlotStyle -> Green,
Epilog -> Inset[RegionPlot[(x^2 + y^2)^(3/2) <= x^2 - y^2,
{x, -0.02, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
AspectRatio -> Automatic, Frame -> False, PlotRangePadding -> 0],
{0, 0}, {0, 0}, 1.02]]
Also you can simply extract the graphics primitives from RegionPlot:
PolarPlot[Cos[2 t], {t, 0, 2 Pi}, PlotStyle -> Green,
Epilog -> First@ RegionPlot[(x^2 + y^2)^(3/2) <= x^2 - y^2,
{x, -0.02, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]]
