The מהרש"א points out that from our Gemara it sounds that the משכן was build in the מדבר because Hashem couldn't hold out to live with his people and wanted to bring his שכינה down and live with them even sooner.
There is, however, a very great debate amongst the Rishonim if בנ"י would've needed a משכן if not for the sin of the golden calf (see for example ספורנו שמות כד יח that holds one way and the רמבן לה א that holds the other).
the depth is that some hold that without the sin the kingship of Hashem would've been manifested in the WHOLE world and not constrained to the Mishkan, but after the sin the world is impure and only in the Mishkan can the שכינה rest. Again, our gemara doesn't sound this way.
