I see only a division between gods and antigods, not a third category of foreign deities, if that's what you mean. If I'm misunderstanding your definitions, please explain one more time.
Malkion, Pamalt, Orlanth and Sshorg are foreign deities and they are defined as antigods and thus descended from Vith (Malkion and Pamalt explicitly so).

A foreign deity would probably usually end up in the antigod camp, but IMO the Vithelans consider all gods children of Vith and either of his wives.
I also think it is possible that some deities which are worshipped in the east are the same as deities worshipped elsewhere, under other names. For example, the celestial gods are not important in the East Isles, but there is a mythology of the stars. IMO, the eastern pole star deity could be the same as the Pelorian one.
