Eventually, all native species had to have been introduced sometime. So, native species are introduced species that have been in the ecosystem for a long time, and it and the other organisms have adapted to each other.

No, introduced species and invasive species are not the same. An introduced species is any non-native species that has been brought to a new environment, either intentionally or accidentally. Invasive species, on the other hand, are a subset of introduced species that cause harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health by outcompeting native species or disrupting ecological balances. Not all introduced species become invasive; some can coexist peacefully within their new environments.
There are seven species of frog found in New Zealand, three of which are non-native species introduced by settlers. An additional five species were introduced in the 1800's that were unable to establish successful populations. None of these are present today. All of the native species and two of the introduced species are listed as threatened or endangered.
An exotic species is a plant or animal species that is not native to a specific region but has been introduced there, often by human activity. These species can disrupt local ecosystems, outcompete native species, and cause harm to biodiversity.
A species that "belongs" in a particular area, as you put it, is called a native species. I am sure that animals who find themselves in a non-natural habitat are called a non-native species, an invasive species, or introduced species. The introduction of some species into new environments can have devastating results - this is because the invasive species can eradicate necessary native species that are necessary to support a healthy ecosystem.
No, rabbits are not native to Australia. They were introduced to the continent by European settlers and are considered an invasive species in Australia.
It's an introduced species such as rabbits being introduced into Australia.
Preying upon native species competing with native species for resources displacing native species :)
Sheep are not native to Australia - they are an introduced species.
Yes. Donkeys are introduced, and not native to Australia.
Sometimes a non-native species can be introduced into an environment as a way to address an environmental problem. Other times these are introduced by accident.
Not even remotely. Koalas are marsupials, which is a sub-group of mammals. They are native to Australia. Toads are amphibians, and introduced to Australia, as there are no native toad species in the country.
In the first place, introduced species threaten the food supplies of native animals. Introduced species tend to breed more quickly than native species, so they eat more, often razing feeding grounds which would support native herbivores for months by eating vegetation right down to the roots. Secondly, many introduced species are predators, and native Australian animals have not developed effective defence adaptations against predators that are new to them. Introduced plant species tend to spread more quickly through native habitats, killing off native plant species which might provide the natural food of Australian animals.

Species that migrate are called migratory species, while species that are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem are called invasive species.
That depends. What area are you talking about? In some areas, pandas are native and in other areas, pandas are introduced. It depends on the location of which you are asking. They are native to China.
Introduced species and habitat loss are the primary causes of extinction of native species in New Zealand. Introduced species such as feral cats, foxes, rats and stoats have decimated some native populations. Even the brushtail possum, rainbow lorikeets, black swan and cockatoos which have been introduced from Australia, threaten the habitat of native New Zealand species.
Introduced species, also known as non-native or exotic species, are organisms that are brought into a new habitat where they do not naturally occur. They can cause significant ecological damage by outcompeting native species for resources, disrupting food webs, and altering habitats. Additionally, introduced species can introduce diseases and parasites that native species are not equipped to handle. This can lead to declines or extinctions of local wildlife and a loss of biodiversity.
