Well, yes, any player who completed the 1.0 quest "United We Stand" will get the Legacy teleport intro, according to Camate, however, just because you get the legacy cutscenes doesn't necessarily mean they all make sense from a narrative/lore perspective.
For instance, players who fulfilled the special cutscene requirements will get a special conversation with Cid on their way to fight Garuda in which Cid remembers taking them on the airship to face Nael van Darnus in the 1.0 quest "To Kill a Raven," but if you never defeated Nael van Darnus in 1.0, you never actually had that conversation with Cid. Furthermore, it's through the "Living on a Legend" quest that the Main Character actually goes under oath to protect Louisoix on Carteneau and becomes one of the Twelvesblades. So, unless you completed that quest, your character canonically has no reason to be by Louisoix's side at the time of the Thaliak rift. Everyone else was ordered to retreat well before this event.
If we're being technical, my 1.0 alt at the time was sitting in Ul'dah when the servers went down. She still got teleported time-rift style when she logged into 2.0. Whereas my main who was actively fighting Garleans during the epic-server-crash-Calamity-2012 was also teleported. So you can't really go on legacy status alone. Sure, you can of course say you were teleported by Louisoix's spell, my previous post was just very simply stating the lore/story reason as to why you were teleported - which is, you were under contract with the Archons to protect Louisioix during the final moments and thus were a member of the Twelvesblades, now known as the forgotten warriors of light.
