It doesn't really connect to a universe. To my understanding, it exists outside of space-time. The question that we should be asking, how did the Daleks get there? As we're not able to jump to conclusions on this Wiki (such as "the Time Lords put them there"), we're at a loss. What I will admit is that this movie is starting to look more valid as this conversation goes on. Now that I've looked at the Phantom Zone over at the DC Wiki, I've got a better understanding.

If someone from the DWU put them inside the Phantom Zone, it would have to be someone with the powers to break down the barriers of the universe. Would the Time Lords put them there when they have alternate means of keeping them prisoner (such as Genesis Arcs)? Would the Doctor really endanger the peoples of other universes by putting them inside this Phantom Zone? And I'm also struggling to accept the Daleks would find this prison inescapable, unless they were in cahoots with the Joker and biding their time.

But yeah, this is starting to become more understandable now. In my opinion there's a gap in our knowledge. How did the Daleks get from the DWU to the Phantom Zone? That's what we need to know in order to connect it up. Otherwise, these remain parallel Daleks. You can use authorial intent all day long but this question remains unanswered haha.
