Should I move my messages to a different package so I can just install that on other devices?

Yes, that is actually the best practice for message, services and actions.

Being able to re-use messages without having to install also the other parts of a package is actually one part of the rationale. Separating the messages from the rest of your packages also clearly separates your ROS API from your implementation, further enhancing separation of concerns and re-usability.
