We did also get the Black Chocobo from Heveansward but I can't really recall if we rode that for quests or not (and legacy / draught > black chocobo), certainly the Yol and Magitek were introduced early on in MSQ content first like the Amaro though.
The black chocobos were the only domesticated ones that were bred and trained to fly. The company chocobo had to unlock its flight through a quest chain.
