I caught the tail end of a Doohan tribute on Talk of the Nation with Robert Justman and Wil Wheaton, and one of them, I think Justman, claimed that at one event Armstrong had said Scotty was who inspired him to be an engineer and astronaut. Um, the show debuted in 1966. Armstrong was already flying Gemini missions by then.
So that I don't believe. But from having seen Armstrong talk a few months ago, he's definitely an engineer with that mindset, and I don't have any problem believing he said and meant the bits in the original post.
