I suspect it's a geographical reference. If Eorzea is oriented to be center, then the Garlean Empire is northeast, Doma and I believe Thavnair are far east, the land of the Mamool Ja and the fabled city of gold are to the west. The Goblin race is from somewhere, but it's never really mentioned where other than that it's not Eorzea. I'm guessing, then, that "Uplander" is basically their calling us "northerners".
