Before addressing the actual question, some meta-advice. Recovering your trezor with your metamask seed phrase is a bad idea. You should let the hardware wallet pick a seed and never ever enter that seed phrase on a computer. Once a seed phrase is on a computer (and metamask seed phrases start out that way), the hardware wallet can’t help protect it from malware.

Based on the steps you described, what you should now see in metamask is:

1. A brand new empty account (which metamask makes when setting it up)
2. An account called „Trezor 1“, which, since it is based on your metamask’s seed phrase, used to be your first account.

There are 3 seed phrases involved here:

1. The original metamask seed, which is now stored on the trezor
2. The original trezor seed, which only exists in your backups at this point
3. the new metamask seed, which, again, it generated when you set it up again.

So, what happened to the old „Trezor 1“ account? That account was based on your trezor’s seed phrase from before you reset it (#2 in the above list).

Do you still know that seed? If so, yay, reset your trezor, recover that seed, and you can access that account through metamask again. If not, then, well, sorry, but that account is gone forever. Trezors make it hard to skip writing down the seed when setting it up. Stories like this one is why.
