No, it's not that. Aside from anything else, Epireus has a name. The system the Jedi are heading to is nowhere near anywhere even vaguely explored. Epireus is in striking distance of a Republican world.
But that they would go to that side of the Galaxy (and note, that's a pretty darn big area!) shouldn't be THAT surprising, as they are looking into stuff concerning Katai. Katai is linked to Adelmo. Adelmo is also hanging around that side of the galaxy.
There IS this vibe, though, that the two sides have been working on opposite sides of the Galaxy since the campaign started. New Blood aside, my talk has all been of Hutts for the Light Side and the Serpent for the Dark (though in part that is because the Light Side is the 'default' side, as it were, in the standard SW universe; it is the Dark Side game that is the unusual, 'push the mythology' setting.)
Things are starting to converge.
