"Across the pond" is GENERALLY an expression that is used to reference the Atlantic Ocean... but sure, it could mean the Black Sea, I guess.

But would "across the pond" be expected to remain a colloquialism hundreds-to-thousands of years in the future? That's a hard question for any SF writer to answer. In all likelihood anyone in the Destiny universe would not be speaking a current form of English, and would not be using current expressions. Destiny's dialogue doesn't attempt to address this - I don't blame them, because it's a hard task a little outside the scope of the game.
