Nobility generally implies some sort of hereditary power (typically tied to land ownership) and doesn't exist in isolation. As far as I know, Ishgard is the only society in Eorzea with a system of noble families.
We know Ul'dah has nobility, we know Garlemald has nobility, Ala Mhigo, being a formerly independant nation, probably had nobility. Ishgard is not the only society in Eorzea with noble families, it is simply the one with the most emphasis on them.
It's been explicitly stated in the lore that Ala Mhigo had nobility. When king Theodoric went off his rocker and started lopping off heads left, right and centre, a bunch of nobility got together to appeal to the queen to stop him. When that didn't work, they started a clandestine plot to assassinate him. But he found out, and we can all see where that went.
