No, you took the phishing bait. I'm sorry I know you don't wanna place the blame on yourself but we've probably all gotten these tells multiple times by now. The website TLD is not identical to anything SE uses.
Knowledge is power here, and understanding what happened is only going to help you and others not also fall for this.

I'm sorry for what happened I feel for you, but understanding exactly what happened to you is important. Your edit makes...little sense. Your IP cannot be hacked per se. Getting your personal information and getting threats is almost unheard of from RMT they kust want to empty your gil and use your character to spam the same RMT message you got in the first place. But if they did have your account access they could also in turn log into your account management and see your personal information. This is likely how they sent you a message, if any.
If you had used a security token on your account, it wouldn't have helped your initial character loss. You would have still had someone log into your character. But it may have stopped them from logging into your SE account management as the OTP would have changed and your personal information wouldn't have been accessible.

Again, it sucks to have happen, but be wary of suspicious links. You can stop it from happening again.
