There seems to be a similar usage such as in the following site: Marcos Maidana vs. Lucas Matthysse: A Storm is Brewing "It appears that Schaefer and Showtime will soon be having very similar discussions, if they haven't already that is." (end of the paragraph.) What does this "that is." mean?

You could change the last clause to 'that is if they...' and it would have the same meaning. Essentially, the pattern is: A is true, if B isn't that is.
