If it has anything to do with Scream of the Shalka, it doesn't really represent Shalka very well. I have to say I didn't think about Shalka at all. The line is:
 * Clara: So, I may have ... accidentally invented a boyfriend.
 * Doctor: Yeah, I did that once and there's no easy way to get rid of an android.

In Shalka, there's no implication that the Shalka Master is "invented" or a "boyfriend". He's the real essence of the Master in a metal body — the Shalka Doctor's reward for the Master having helped Shalka Doc through a rough patch.

I didn't think it was a reference to anything we'd seen before — other than perhaps Handles.
