What if there's a bigger, still unknown reference point?

When we think about teleportation, there's always someone talking about how you should take into account the earth and the sun moving through space. Let's step back a little (not so much) what if the galaxy we're currently in is rotating really really fast around another, bigger, still unknown, spacial object?

I mean motion is all relative anyway, right? So would teleportation be like throwing a ball on a train? That is, the ball's motion depends on the frame of reference. So maybe teleporting would work that way if it were actually possible.
