The dragon obviously is a god-like creature. The magical energy it gives off, even while dormant, drew the attention of the Asuras and the Destroyers. It is very unlikely that the dragon was made on Tyria by the Six Gods. Glint, their first creation, was to be the most powerful creature in the world, and this dragon is obviously going to completely outclass Glint. Moreover, there is no lore of an ancient and powerful creature sealed away for all eternity deep inside the planet: such events tend to become the stuff of legends.
My guess about Tyria's prehistory is that when the Six Gods came to Tyria, they found a number of animistic lesser deities (the Great Dwarf, the Great Destroyer, the Bear Spirit, etc.) and their followers locked in permanent struggle. They decided to meddle to set things straight, first creating Glint, then summoning the Forgotten to stop all the fighting, and then creating the humans to civilize the planet. Of course, their plan didn't work out as they wished, so the gods eventually cut their losses and went to other areas of the Mists.
Speaking of the Mists, the Scepter of Orr is probably not of Tyrian origin. What, or who, brought it to Tyria? My guess is the race of Seers, who are to the dragon what the Margonites are to Abaddon.
I love your lore enthusiasm, but there's one part I have beef with. I doubt the Seers would bring the staff, considering what it was meant to do and it's power. My guess is that it will be a big part of GW2, perhaps an escaped artifact that could be one of many great artifacts that escaped the hands of this new magical creature that we see in the GWEN finale when it was supposedly turned to a statue, or entered hibernation, or whatever upside down statues that were once great powers do.
