Are Queens and Brooklyn on Long Island?
Yes, the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are both on Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens (which are also Kings County and Queens County, respectively) occupy the western end of Long Island.
Kings County (aka the borough of Brooklyn) is the westernmost county on Long Island, and Queens County (aka the borough of Queens) is the second-westernmost. Queens lies on top of and somewhat east of Brooklyn, as if it just tried to sit down on Brooklyn too hard, and is now slipping off the right side of it.
The remaining, eastern portion of Long Island is occupied by Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are part of New York State, but not part of New York City as Brooklyn and Queens are.
Suffolk County is the easternmost county on Long Island, and at 912 square miles, it is also the largest, taking up 65% of Long Island's total land area (which is 1401 square miles).

How do you get to Brooklyn from Jamaica station?
There are a couple of stations in Jamaica, Queens, so I don't know which one you're talking about: there's the Jamaica-179th Street stop on the F line (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line), and there's also a Jamaica Center Parsons/Archer stop on the J-Z (the brown line) and E (of the A-C-E, the blue line).
The J-Z (the brown line) goes from Jamaica Center Parsons/Archer through north Brooklyn, and you can transfer to the L at the Broadway-Eastern Parkway Station.
The F goes from Jamaica-179th Street into Manhattan, and then back out to Brooklyn. Or, you can get off the F at Forest Hills-71st Avenue, and transfer to the R train (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line). The R train also goes into Manhattan, and then back out to Brooklyn (as do the Nand W). You can transfer from the R to the Nor W at the Lexington Avenue-59th Street stop in Manhattan.
You can also get from the J-Z or E (the Jamaica Center stop) to the F or R trains, if you wish. Take the E from Jamaica Center to Briarwood/Van Wyck Boulevard and transfer there for the F. Then you can transfer from the F to the R at Forest Hills-71st Avenue.
Or, you can get from the F to the J-Z. Take the F from Jamaica-179th Street to Briarwood/Van Wyck Boulevard, and transfer to the E. Take the E to Jamaica Center (or the stop before it, Sutphin Blvd Archer Ave) and transfer to the J-Z.
