Foreshadowing isn't used to justify future happenings. It's meant to hint something that will come in the future but can never be proven right until it actually happens. In other words it doesn't explain anything. It was just a tease. Therefore it's still Deus Ex Machina because the entire explanation for it came later on. Not before it.

Also this isn't Monty's show. It never was. Did Monty pay for voice actors? Did Monty created the soundtrack? Did Monty wrote the scripts and created the characters (apart from giving them names)? Did Monty animated everything on his own?

No. Monty was just an employee who came up with a fantastic idea for a show. But RT made that show happen hence why this is their show which was originally created by Monty. But it does not belong to him.
