Skyrim Lore: Is the Dragonborn lore of emperor lineage already existing in Oblivion or supplemented later for Skyrim?
I started playing Skyrim and not Oblivion in the ES series.
Are there other interesting facts or lores deliberately supplemented to the universe from Morrowind > Oblivion and also other Oblivion > Skyrim?
Edit: Are there dragons (as enemy?) in Oblivion or other ES games?

To the question in the title: Eeeh kinda?
There's no such thing as Shouts in the earlier games so the emperors don't go around Fus-Do-Rahing enemies off a cliff (too bad, might have saved the emperor in oblivion from getting killed).
However, the Amulet of Kings can, in lore, only be worn by someone with the blood of a dragonborn, so dragonborns existed and were mentioned. Though I recall in Oblivion the reference was more to that lineage being blessed by Akatosh.
To the question in the the... question, they are all the same universe, set some time apart. Books have survived from the very first game and the concept of time (the dragon) breaking is a thing in all of them (this also explains how all the games are canon despite having such freedom of choice).

Are you the Dragonborn in Oblivion?
So the player character in Oblivion is also up to interpretation on whether or not they are a dragonborn. The only emperors i know not to be dragonborns are the current one in Skyrim, who is related to a Dark Brotherhood quest.Could the dovahkiin become Emperor?
Could the Last Dragonborn Become Emperor? Many new players in TES games will think that the Dragonborn should be the Emperor because the Septim Dynasty, Reman Dynasty, and the Alessian Dynasty were all Dragonborn. Obviously this is false, but that doesn't mean the Dragonborn still can't become emperor.Is the Dragonborn related to Tiber Septim?
No The Current septims are not dragonborns. As they are not decendents of Tiber septim as Pelagius Septim was the last dirrect decendent of tiber septim to die (He was Tiber Septims's Grandson) but his brother Agnorith Setpim's daughter Kintyra Septim became empress which his brother is not a dragonborn.Are Dragonborn descended from dragons Skyrim?

Answer 2
To add to the previous answer:
Shouts do not exist as game-play mechanic in earlier games, but they very much exist in the lore from Morrowind onward. Children of the Sky tells of the Nords' ability to use their voices in battle, and of their mightiest warriors called "tongues". However, Children of the Sky does make no connection between the Dragonborn and shouting; it more so seems like shouting was a quite common ability among Nord warriors.
