If i use UMD to emulate Wild Shape class feature i can use the benefits of Mask of Giants or i actualy need to "cast" Wild Shape ?
Essentially UMD can fool a magic item into thinking you have that power. It doesn't fool the universe into thinking you have that power though, so you will stubbornly retain your same shape.
And If i use UMD to emulate Wild Shape class feature to Druid´s Vestment than use the Mask of Giantes, it is ok?
No - you still don't actually have wildshape, so you can't spend a standard action activating the supernatural ability called wildshape, even though you have an extra use for the ability you don't have and can transform into a giant when you activate the ability you can't activate because you don't have it.
I disagre.
the item says
"When this item is worn by a character with the wild shape ability.." -> UMD allow me to use as a character with the wild shape ability
"...,the caracter can use that ability one additional time each day"
for the item effects i have the wild shape ability with 0 uses, so the item allow me use 0 + 1.

It's not 0+1, though. If you had Wild Shape with zero uses, that would work, but you don't have Wild Shape. There has been clarification on a few things that you can't add to what you don't have.

UMD lets you convince the item you have the ability. You have fooled it, and so it is certainly happy to try to activate for you.
Despite your clever deception of the item though, you don't actually have the ability to wild shape. You are only faking it.
Ok i understand now, but it is not so clear. thanks

Try this analogy. I have a magical item that will, if I am carrying a bucket, make a cup of water appear in the bucket. I don't have a bucket, but I use UMD to emulate 'having a bucket.' When I activate my device how much water is in my bucket?
None. Because I still don't have a bucket.
