Surely, but the LOTR universe doesn't develop much further in technology. Plus, the first Avatars probably didn't live much longer than 35-50 years, Sozin, Azulon and Ozai surely weren't first ones who wanted to end the Avatar, so there maybe were some Avatars who died very early. Also, you have to think practical: The Avatar's meant to maintain balance on the world, so there had to be something that's disrupted the balance of the whole world, meaning that the Four Nations had some way to communicate/wage war with/against eachother, which both requiere some level of civilisation.
