I don't think that needs theories. It's very noticeable that he has mechanical parts.

Terraria is looking like it's fond of alien themes and it seems like it is following an ancient aliens vibe, the theory that aliens visited earth and were mistaken as Gods and taught humans how to use technology and made them build pyramids.

The Jungle Temple has mechanical traps so Golem could be seen as just another trap. Cultists worshiping the Moon Lord appear after fighting the Golem and alien probes start appearing as well, which can trigger an Alien invasion. Defeating the Cultists start the Lunar Event that also summon aliens.

I believe Terraria has more Sci-fi themes than fantasy.
