Well, sort of. Unlike most boostrap paradox, it does have a discernable creation point, pre-Time Travel unique skill Chloe.

Hero Chloe has two "origins" a timeline where she didn't come from the future, and one where she did. You can consider her original timeline the "foul future" timeline.

The whole reason Chloe comes back in time in the first place is because she comes from a future where Yuuki succeeds, which is before the timeline she created with Veldora and Rimuru, so she had to come across the mask at some point, because obviously the mask was created as some point.

Basically, events occured that disrupted the flow of time, several times. Meaning Chloe both came from a future with Rimuru and without Rimuru. In fact, you could almost consider her Adult Form and her Manas: Chrona being as example of this. Two adult Chloes, two different timelines, all with one mask with one origin.
