Yes, but that's not foreshadowing for the "Synthetics vs. Organics"  conflict, specifically. That refers to how they preserve life, but not how Synthetics and Organics will always be at odds. That wasn't played up enough.

The "salvation through destruction" works better with the original Dark Matter plot, which was more likely what they were thinking at the time of writing that particular line of dialogue.
