I think it's possible to express such things in general ways, but I also think we shouldn't overdo it. Tomatoes exist in Eorzea and are named "tomatoes," but the word comes from the Aztec "xitomatl" and as far as we know, the Ixal aren't the ones that introduced tomatoes to the rest of Eorzea (or Hot Chocolate to Ishgard, or Nopales which are from the New Continent). Unfortunately, the Macuahuitl remains a mystery.
Obviously I wouldn't describe something as "Chinese" IC, but we can also appreciate SE giving us little "outs" for this kind of thing. A Gatling Gun could be justified by the fact that "Gatling" was the name of an alchemical smith in Eorzea, for example.
