It implies nothing, because the entire video is a nonsense to begin with. Just like fan creations (such as Underpants) and Toby's tweets, the video means nothing for the game. Just as we don't use the Halloween Hack as evidence in Undertale, we don't use a video that's clearly a joke as evidence in Undertale. So, what DO we use as evidence in Undertale? Well, the answer's obvious-Undertale.

(Toby's tweets are jokes and non-canon, he'll probably just make a joking tweet and therefore give us nothing.)

Technically, the Halloween Hack fits that description. While it is a hack of Earthbound, it's still playable as its own game, with its own story. And if the surprise really does hint it's talking about the first of its kind, then that means the sentence is talking about the EarthBound Halloween Hack. What, he didn't make whole thing? Just the story and map layout, and even some new objects that look like Flowey but aren't? Well, what he did work on became a playable, full-fledged game when combined with the work of Earthbound, so it counts!

Actually, Toby didn't come up with the full idea either. Take for example, Muffet. That was a fan-creation by Michelle, made specifically for Undertale. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5QzVMYnZnV3o1Mnc Same Temmie? That was made by Temmie Chang, and with it, comes his shop. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5SWZrdlBCSnZuNVk Temmie helped create Papyrus as well. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5RTBCTkJmZlpuNXM Magnolia created the somewhat main character Monster Kid:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5bDl6RnJjZXlVdlk

Saying Toby made Undertale would be inaccurate. He DIDN'T. A combination of many did.
