Posette was made by Zygote

Yes

Zygote became DAZ (sort of) and made Victoria from scratch from digital scans of a real human.

DAZ was a spin-off of Zygote ... the branch that focused on Poser products broke off and became DAZ. Zygote still makes high-end (and very expensive!) models. As for Victoria being built from digital scans of a real woman, I believe Victoria 3 was (as she was made from the Unimesh), but I'm not sure if Victoria 1 and 2 were made from "real" human data. Anyone?

Judy was made from scratch by Runtime DNA members.

Nope ... this is partly true. The textures and morphs were made by Runtime DNA members, but the meshes were made by Cubed (see http://www.cubed.ie/services/serv_content.htm where it says "Our artists created all of the 3D models, poses, and animation for the award-winning Poser 5 software and Avatar Lab from Curious Labs."

Was Stephanie made from scratch or based on an existing mesh?

Depends which Steph you're talking about. Stephanie (#1) was based on the Michael 1 and 2 mesh, but morphed to make a female. Stephanie Petite is based on the DAZ Unimesh, same as Victoria 3, Michael 3, and David.

Mayadoll, The Girl, etc, are all obviously built from scratch and not based on existing meshes.

Correct.
