Pax Cultura Emblem in relation to the ubuntu logo.
If you place the outer circles of the ubuntu logo inside the bigger circle you are going to have a pretty similar logo.

No.
Plain and simple, that's the answer - their logo has only a visual relation to the Ubuntu logo.
While I do agree with you that they look similar, the Ubuntu logo, commonly referred to as the Circle of Friends is supposed to represent the community and the meaning of the word "Ubuntu".
From the About Ubuntu page:
Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am what I am because of who we all are'.
Thus, this leads to the "Circle of Friends" name for the logo, because Ubuntu means "I am what I am because of who we all are".
About the "Circle of Friends" logo name - from the Ubuntu Design page for the Logo:
The Circle of Friends
The Ubuntu logo is made up of the Ubuntu wordmark and the Ubuntu symbol. This symbol is called the ‘Circle of Friends’.
From a wikipedia page that talks about Peace symbols (including the Pax Cultura emblem):
... Roerich came across numerous later examples in various parts of the world, and knew that it represented a deep and sophisticated understanding of the triune nature of existence...
Basically, although they look similar, they have no actual relation.
