the key in the name of the instrument refers to the note that instrument plays in the "open" position (no fingers on the frets or finger-holes or valves). i play the Bb Tuba, it's open position is Bb.

Are there any transposing instruments pitched in A flat?

In short - no. At least, there are no "regular orchestral" or band instruments in Ab that I have ever come across. There are some ancient folk instruments that are tuned to whatever key make them sound good and some of them are in Ab, however, they are "one-ofs" and similar instruments might not be in the same key. The harmonicas are a family of instruments in different keys, so they would have Ab instruments (blues, tremolo, maybe even chromatic) and I believe concertinas (diatonic accordions) come in all or most keys, as well.
