A rather unusual case is that of Taal Lake, also in the Philippines. Here a lake fills a massive caldera. In that lake the volcano has started to regrow and in turn has a smaller lake in its caldera.

What is the Oregon Lake Caldera or Volcanic neck?
It would have to be a caldera. A caldera is a depression in the ground, so it is logical that one would contain a lake (and some do). A volcanic neck is a pillar or mountain of rock that solidified inside a volcano, and so could not form a lake.
