He said the robed giant was a key to Haise understanding his past, but not that he was the only way his memories could resurface. Personally I think it would have been really lame and dishonest to his character and the tone of the series if the way we got Kaneki back was through him being told about the past by Amon, and I like the author's choice to consistently make Kaneki's moments of character progression to revolve around violent or traumatic events. I also seriously doubt that an author smart enough to have set all these plot elements in motion would have simply forgotten about that whole discussion. I think he's waiting to reveal Amon still being alive for something bigger...
