Exactly, essentially they aren't the same Viera and their lore is based off of pre-cataclysm viera, who were confirmed to have males in their society. Technically tactics which is the first game in the ivalice universe to be release, supports male viera existing as it takes place post-cataclysm and is confirmed to be the true ivalice. So even though they're extinct viera(and their males) once lived there.
