No - the ROA-RTL thing is for people who gained ROA by residence.
The child as described has no rights to any Chinese or HK nationality/abode. The rules are very clear on this.

voting and deportation is not a issue, if my daugther doesn't have PR (doesn't matter ROA or RTL), after her age 18, I can't sponsor her to get the HK PR or live in HK
thanks all....
I will return to HK later, if my daughter can’t get the PR. My current high priority is preparing the appeal letter. Any information for me as a reference
why don't you send your child to study in hk after 7 years later, she will have roa status.
i agree with jimbo, contact a lawyer. you can call a lawyer from Australia and discuss the situation. all the information given here suggests that your daughter has no legal standing, but maybe an immigration lawyer might know about a case with a similar situation that could help you.
I'm not an expert in this field, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I had an understanding that anyone who holds a PR, if they live out of HK and do not enter HK in a space of 36 months that they could lose their PR status too. So potentially, if you or your family members have not visited HK in the last 3 years you could be in the same position.
Even if your daughter loses her right to have PR status, that does not prevent her applying for a HKID. She just won't have the 3*.
Why is it important for her to have the 3*? She'll still be able to live and work in HK.
That depends. If you are born in HK and got ROA at birth then you can not lose it regardless of how long you have been gone. I am not sure if the daughter can get an ID, but if she does not have ROA or RTL status then she will not be allowed to live and work in HK without either sponsorship or a visa of some sort. The issue here is that the daughter never legally had ROA.
