I don't think Pureblood Garleans can use aetherytes, but now that I think about it, I can't remember where I read that. So take this with the appropriate skepticism.

Garleans have their own teleportation tech, of course. It seems to be fairly robust, given that we use it in Dzemael Darkhold long after it was abandoned by all concerned, and Cid and Nero can set up a teleport point relatively quickly (of course, they're geniuses). I'm not sure how Cid showed up in Kugane, though.
