Jareds comment reads: "You’re a legend. Keep going. People you wouldn’t expect are admiring your work. Trust me. :)"  So yes it implies that Jared knows that some individuals at Hasbro Nerf (either R&D or more likely marketing or outreach) have taken notice of Hotkoin's awesome art work and are admiring it. I doubt Jared is implying anything more than Hasbro people know of and respect Hotkoins work. Hotkoin's work is all too inovative and hobby geared than anything Hasbro would make.
