Foreign races, yes, certainly! Au Ra, however... I'm not so sure about. In the storyline, Doma was only recently conquered by the Imperials, and we don't know at this point if the Au Ra live anywhere but in Doma. That means that any adult Au Ra was born a Doman, raised a Doman, and probably ingrained with a strong hate and fear of the Garlean Empire who they so recently saw take their lands by force and spill the blood of their people. While the Garleans do sort of "brainwash" the people they conquer and assimilate them into their armies, I'm not sure enough time has passed to believably say that a character has already been successfully, fully brainwashed and run through the ranks of the Garlean military already. (There are exceptions, of course--maybe your character never had any loyalties to Doma and his peers, and always had some strange desire to serve the Empire.)
