There are some more, depending on what exactly you count as a faction :)
!!! SEMI-SPOILERS BELOW !!!
Don´t read on if you´re very new to Morrowind and want to find out all by yourself.
Quote:I'm still not clear as to whether the different guilds are island-wide organisations, or if the Balmora Mage's Guild is seperate from Vivec's, or what.
They are island-wide organizations. If you join the Mage´s Guild in Balmora, you will be recognized as a member by every Mage´s Guild (pay reduced fees, use the equipment chest, be able to get jobs, etc). What exactly you can and cannot do at a certain faction´s house usualy depends on your rank in that faction. I think you can theoretically become the boss of each faction in the game...advancing in faction ranks can be quite beneficial - if you advance in a Great House high enough, you can get your own stronghold on Morrowind :)
As for the other factions:
There are The Blades, a sort of second Thieve´s Guild (not really a faction I think, more a row of Thieve´s Guild quests), some sort of very freaky Vampire thing, and possibly 2 or 3 others I forgot or havn´t met yet.
