I scraped a chip of paint away from somewhere not obvious then took it in to be matched at Bunnings. It was a great match and the only way you can see its been patched at all is if you are right up against the wall and can see glancing/reflected light changes.

You must have been lucky, because even paint matching you can still see patches. Even things like different rollers etc being used can be noticed. The best course of action is to do as Emy says take a chip and get a colour match and then repaint the whole wall. If the colour match is good you won't notice it on adjacent walls so no need to do the whole room, but certainly the best way is to do the wall as the minimum.
