Nope, I'm 99.9% certain (leaving a very tiny amount of room for error) that the empire they are referring to is Aht Urhgan and the other world is Vana'diel.
I can't seem to find a source for the information, so it may not actually be true and they may just be a new Beastmen race added from FFXI, but not actually from Vana'diel, and the information provided was just a joke. I'll have to see if I can't find them when phase 4 begins and find out more info.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that this information is unfounded until a source comes forward. I made a point of talking to every Mamool Ja NPC I found in and around Limsa Lominsa. Even slaughtered a few outside Bronze Lake for good measure. Really wishing I had grabbed screenshots of their chat bubbles now though. But I don't recall them making any mention of anything relating to Vana'diel. Almost certain. But I will definitely be investigating and screenshotting when P4 comes out lol. Just to be sure.
I don't think I'd mind if SE threw in this little easter egg to give XI players a laugh, but I'm avidly against Hydaelyn and Vana'diel being the same world. Despite their core similarities to XI, XIV is it's own game with its own lore that is almost wholly incompatible with XI's lore.
