One possibility about the founding of torchwood in pete's world is that it was the metacrisis tenth doctor and rose that caused the founding of torchwood in this universe,I wonder if there is a paralell Jack Harkness?.As for time lords somewhere on this wiki i remember hearing that in most universes a race develops time travel and declares itself the lords of time so even if its not the gallifreyans there may be beings in Pete's world known as time lords.--

Actually, if I remember correctly, there was something said in Age of Steel about there only being one Doctor, that they didn't exist in other worlds. Or maybe I just assumed this from the fact the Doctor said that in the old days time lords could go between universes easily. But I'm sure I've heard it somewhere.

I think the OP is referring to the fact that RTD said Pete's World didn't have a Doctor. This hasn't been definitively established by anything in the DWU, though, and it doesn't really make much sense, if you think about it for more than a few seconds. Still we do have
something on the matter from BBC Books:
The parallel world from which the Cybermen came was possibly split from our own when an event took place on that world but not ours: the death of Queen Victoria, killed by a Werewolf. This event was averted on our own world by the intervention of an alien wanderer in time and space -- The Doctor.''Doctor Who: Creatures and Demons
I'm really not sure of the status of that particular work in our canon heirarchy, but it's a starting point of a kind. While it may not definitively establish there is no Doctor in Pete's World, it does at least establish that Pete's World Torchwood wasn't created for the same reason, or at least via the same set of events, as in ours.
It doesn't necessarily follow that because there's a Torchwod in Pete's World that Pete's World must have a Doctor. It's completely reasonable to accept the
Creatures and Demons logic that Victoria was killed at the Torchwood estate by a threat later identified as alien by humans, and that those humans then set up an organization to combat alien threat, named in honor of the place their Queen fell. I mean the Lady of the house was still alive at the end of
Tooth and Claw in our world. She could have been left alive at the end of the same events in Pete's World — a full witness to those events —and that she reported to others what she had seen. It's easy to stress the Doctor too much in the formation of Torchwood. It's principle aim wasn't to find and exclude the Doctor; it was to combat alien threats. Which you'd still need to do in Pete's World even if there was no Doctor. I mean, UNIT would've, and really
did, form in our world without the Doctor. So why wouldn't Torchwood?
