Of course Hagoromo allowed for the Chakra he gave to Sasuke to manifest as a unique six-swirled Rinnegan in his left eye. But the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is not a necessity when it comes to awakening the Rinnegan. If anything the later Visual Prowess seems to make it rather useless. Hagoromo never had or even could get the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan but as soon as he saw Hamura die, his ocular Chakra made his Sharingan automatically turn into Rinnegan who also had the Jutsu of his Mangekyo Sharingan and could not lose their light just as it is with the Eternal Mangekyo.
