I never played 1.0 so I have no idea what the west highlands map looked like, but the official art of the Eorzea worldmap shows that Coerthas has a coast. And if the map is anything to go by the land flattens near the coast and there is some sort of river delta. Some nice people have deciphered the writing there and it looks like it says "Yafaem Saltmoor ".

Looking at the old west Coerthas Higlands map there are definitely some rivers and lakes but it looks like we are not far enough to reach the flats before the coast yet. None the less, Coerthas has a coast and they could have entered the west highlands from there. There is a Castrum in Eastern La Noscea after all, so all they would have to do is cross the Strait of Melthor.
