I think it would be difficult to identify any particular belief as
indigenous to anywhere, since stories and ideas seem to travel so widely
(depending on whether you're a believer in diffusion or independent
origins). The idea of monolithic cultures has long been laid to rest in
archaeology. "Culture" is a palimpsest of different ideas and influences.
I think the Northern people may have had a particular view of wyrd coloured
by their cultural context, but it is doubtless not unique. (As you
suggested.)
