I doubt it's a reference, Ram skull staves have been around in real life for far longer than the staff in He-Man, Shaman staves/totems often have horned animal skulls on them. What else animal has a cooler skull than a ram?

Aside from that, other games have had Ram staffs and I don't recall them saying it's a homage to the Havoc Staff, it just might be too common to be a reference. The Bringer of Death staff on Warcraft is one, I also don't think it references anything. Now that I think of it, I actually think the Death Bringer staff is way closer looking to the Skull of Corruption than the Havoc Staff.
