Nope, I've also seen it used of Ancient Greek (I'm not sure if it
applies to Modern Greek), where it's important for stress, something
like the stress can never be any further than the third mora from the
end.  However, I believe that the exact definition varies from language
to language, but it's basically a rhythmic unit.
