Yes, that's true — and a bit odd. I'm not quite sure what they're going for here. But the Doctor's immediate reaction to this claim is "and yet he’s the Emperor, isn't he?", which could be expressing skepticism about the claim thanks to the Doctor knowing that the Golden Emperor is Emperor because he's the original Dalek.

Speaking of which, while it could be coincidental, the fact that the Golden Emperor's main advisor is the Dalek Prime Strategist is — it's not exactly irrelevant to proving the Golden Emperor is the Dalek Prime, is it?

At any rate, I've updated my sandbox with the information from Defender of the Daleks.
