To a Predator, it is a mask.
To a prop maker who makes predator masks, they need to differentiate between a predator mask (giving a human the look of a predator face) and the mask worn by Predators so they call it a bio helmet.
At least, that is how I see it.
Since the movies and novels are dealing with Predator characters, they only have one mask, and it is called a mask, not a bio helm. It is only people who want to mimic a predator that has both.

I found this on another site too:
"It’s official… in the first movie they referred to the prop as a biological helmet and on the very first licensed P1 helmet replica released years ago by icons, the plaque and COA say Bio Helmet."
The same is true of the officially licensed P2 mask, the box says "biological mask (or Environment mask)" and the plaque says "Environmental mask". My guess is that they had to call the props for the films by two different names to differentiate between the mask the actors wore, and the bio mask over the top of the other mask - for the same reason JehdinThwei outlined (cheers mate!) So im guessing there is some 'officialness' to the term.
Wow, what a lovely selection! Thanks!
Cheers,
