Continuity mistake: When the group is escaping from the volcano, the whole sequence when they are trying to reach the boat shows different times of the day. At one point they are standing on the rocks watching men loading the dinosaurs into the boat with the sun directly behind them and behind the volcano, then as they are running to get in the truck, the sun is right above them. Once aboard the boat the sun appears to be again behind the island and the volcano. (00:47:10)
Continuity mistake: The Ford Explorer was laying out in the open where it was left after the events of Jurassic Park. But the huge tree that it fell out of was nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: When Owen and Franklin are climbing in the truck, from the reverse angle Franklin is next to Owen, but from the front angle he's not. (00:51:00)
Continuity mistake: At the start we see Marine one approach the gates and they aren't even half way open. In the second shot they're open much wider. (00:01:40)
Answer: Masie is a clone of Benjamin Lockwood's daughter. Benjamin's daughter did die in a car accident and when that happened, he wanted to clone her. But John Hammond was against the idea of cloning humans (which is why the partnership broke up). Once John Hammond died, Benjamin went ahead and cloned his daughter. Only, because of the amount of time that passed and his age, Benjamin tells people Masie is his granddaughter and the cover story is Masie's mother died in a car accident, which is why he's raising her. However, I do not know if Benjamin's actual daughter was also named Masie or if that's a new name. I got the impression that Benjamin's actual daughter died at a young age, and since he wanted to clone her right away, he kept the fact that his young daughter died a secret. So as far as most people knew, Benjamin's daughter grew up and had a child and then Benjamin tells people his (adult) daughter died in a car accident.

I think what they mean is if she was a character from the original movies somehow.
His daughter was not an earlier character in the other films. Lockwood is just reflecting on his late daughter, who he loved and misses. Like John Hammond's grandchildren, Lockwood's daughter likely visited the park at some point. His glancing at the original Jurassic Park model seems to be a reference to the cloning procedure that produced Maisie.

In the original movies, no, she's not a character (at least what I can recall). Benjamin Lockwood doesn't even appear in any of the original Jurassic Park trilogy films (I'm not familiar with the books enough to know if any Lockwoods appear in those stories though). In "Fallen Kingdom" it's implied Lockwood's daughter visited the island where Jurassic Park was built, meaning she would have done so prior to the events of the first "Jurassic Park" film.
