When the user is created in SAP HANA, Schema of the same name will be created in SAP HANA Database by default. This is a default schema of user when a user creates any database object. Schema is used to group database object.
Schema defines a container that hold database objects such as Table, Views, Trigger, Procedure, Sequence, Function, Indexes, Synonyms, etc.

Smart Data Access combines data from heterogeneous data sources like Hadoop, Teradata, Oracle, and Sybase.
Data from different sources will store in SAP HANA database as "Virtual Table". The restriction with virtual tables is, it can be only used to build calculation views in SAP HANA.
Content Node is Design Time Repository, which hold all information of data models in the package. All information view e.g.(Attribute View, Analytic View, Calculation View, etc.) will be created in Package under Content Node.
The package is used for grouping related information object in a structured way. The package can be created by clicking right click on Content Node ->New->Package.
