The filter hook that you can use to change any text (where no specific filter exists, which is the case here) is the gettext filter hook. There’s some example code you can follow in the documentation that you can use to change this and other text string messages:

re: the buttons, those are not filterable, but they can be hidden with either CSS or jQuery.

And a function like that just goes into the functions.php file and then it should work?

Correct.

You need to add the strings you wish to translate to the $strings array, in this case you could have:

$strings = array(
    'You have entered an email address that matches an existing user account in our system.  If this is your email address, please log in before continuing your registration. Otherwise, register with a different email address.' => 'Some custom text to replace that string here',
    // Add some more strings here
);

You do not need to place a call to the function itself as the function is hooking into the gettext filer using:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );
