It's actually up to interpretation. Emmerich and Devlin did not originally write the film to exist in any other continuity, but Toho could easily retcon it if they wanted, since they own Godzilla. GMK is the only continuity where it could happen, since in that universe no one hardly even remembers Godzilla and some people believe he is just a legend from the past, hence why if a monster similar to him showed up somewhere else in the world, people might assume it is Godzilla. GMK also references other monster sightings all over the world following the attack on NYC, which could be seen as a nod to Godzilla: The Series.
