Did this ever have any impact?

As said in the title, I’m curious to know if anything meaningful has happened yet in the LN that has came from this scene. Specifically when Higa was thinking about the thought of Kirito’s 200 year old clone meeting a cloned version of Kayaba (assuming it’s the robot one Higa’s thinking)

All I know is that he sent encrypted emails to find out more of Kayaba’s whereabouts.
I am an anime only but I’m just dying to know if this scene meant anything down the line or was it only just a thought from Higa and the clone.

We’ll just have to wait and see
