This movement is fluid, its impact not confined to individual nations.

Is this sentence missing some words?

I think this sentence should be written as following.

This movement is fluid, and its impact is not confined to individual nations.

or

This movement is fluid, its impact being not confined to individual nations.

If I remove 'being' above sentence, is it correct grammar?

Good for you!

All three are gramatically correct. This shows that you understand English, and know how to say the same thing several ways. It just depends what will work best in the context of whatever else you are saying.
