Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'gaming' specifies the domain (playing video games) and 'persona' denotes a presented identity or social mask, so together they straightforwardly mean the identity someone adopts while gaming. This is a regular modifier+noun compound following common English patterns (and similar constructions exist in other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Gaming persona comes from the idea of putting on a mask or costume to play a role. The word gaming shows it is for games and persona means the part you play, a 'identity' or 'character'. That's why it means a special identity someone uses while playing games.
