By using retrograde analysis, we find that black had no possible move before 0. Qg3-g5.
If -1... Bg4-f3 was played, White has no move before this since this covers a check from the f2 rook.
If -1... Rh4-h3 was played, Black moved out of a check made by himself, which is obviously impossible.
Every other black piece on the board had no last move, so we conclude the position to be impossible and thus no checkmate.

the legality of a position doesn't determine whether there is a checkmate or not

in retro, if a position is not legal, then there is no checkmate
