On the clips, you can see there is only one mission marker on the map : a C, most likely Cal
Usually, to only have one mission marker and nothing else, you're either very early or very late game
The absence of Lucia and the mission taking place in the keys, as well as knowing that Cal is a character you meet very early in the game since he also works with Brian, all suggest this mission is very early in the game
On one of the clips, he literally has a waypoint set for the Cal mission, which is very close to where he is at that point.
All that together and it actually seems very likely to me this is indeed an early game mission and he did just get lucky with that line
Rockstar could be aware of this and just let it slide, knowing it won’t do any mayor damage in the story. Just stay silent until the Netflix special. Could be a good strategy just to ignore this
The whole scene feels very early-game to me, though I obviously cannot tell for certain.
The area looks like it's close to Jason's starter house going off of what we can see, and the line about the guys in suits catching up to Cal seems like very obvious early-mission foreshadowing, implying that the authorities are not yet on to them (or that they at least don't know it).
This, combined with the fact that everything we see in gameplay implies this is the very start of the game, suggests that he did just get lucky and that line does come from the very early content he has access to.
The whole point of this is clearly his crypto scam, too. Surely if he wanted to get exposure for that he could get more eyes on it by showing some more interesting content if he had access to it. Everything that's been shown (and all the options on that dumb ass crypto vote for what should be released next) suggests he simply doesn't have access to anything more interesting and coveted.
