    Dont think it will be concrete. It is probably an sand/cement render, used internally, which is then plaster skimmed.
    How did you remove the wallpaper?
    I suspect that you have removed the smikcoat in your enthusiasm to remove the paper.
    This would not be difficult if it was not keyed properly, and blown.
    I would have the walls reskimmed to provise a good surface for painting.
